Global markets rise on ceasefire signals from Trump and Iran

Other Global markets rise on ceasefire signals from Trump and Iran

U.S. stocks surged on Tuesday after reports of a potential pause in U.S. military operations against Iran. This shift helped traders step away from heavy sell-offs, adding approximately $1.75 trillion in market value on Wall Street.

Bitcoin, stocks, and gold jump

The S&P 500 rose about 2.4% to around 6,496. The Nasdaq Composite gained 3.3% to 21,475, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 2.1% to 46,176. The Russell 2000 posted similar gains. At one point, Nasdaq was up nearly 4%, with about 77% of stocks advancing.

The catalyst was a statement by Donald Trump expressing willingness to halt military operations in Iran, even if the Hormuz Strait remains partially closed. Iran also signaled openness to negotiations under certain conditions.

Oil and geopolitical impact

Markets rebounded after a weak March 30 session. However, the first quarter remained negative overall.

The S&P 500 fell about 7% for the quarter — its worst result since 2022 — driven by oil-driven inflation fears and a tech sector pullback.

WTI Crude Oil stabilized around $101–102 per barrel, while Brent Crude traded between $104–106.

Gold ranged between $4,500–4,681 per ounce, while silver climbed to $73–75.

Crypto and bond market reaction

Bitcoin rose about 1.9% to ~$67,800 after touching $68,500. Ethereum gained 3.9% to ~$2,096. Both assets tracked equities as risk appetite returned.

U.S. 10-year Treasury yields declined to 4.30–4.31%. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that long-term inflation expectations remain under control.

What’s next

Bond markets face conflicting pressures: high oil prices push inflation higher, while rising government spending increases fiscal concerns.

Corporate earnings remain strong, and AI-related themes continue to attract institutional capital.

Analysts expect continued volatility in Q2. Key drivers:

  • developments in the Iran conflict
  • oil price movements
  • Federal Reserve policy

About 20% of global oil supply passes through the Hormuz Strait. Any disruption could trigger sharp price increases.

Markets currently show optimism that the worst may be over — but whether that holds depends on upcoming developments.
