Extended read

Following a decline on Tuesday, US stock futures saw gains on Wednesday after President Trump announced an extension of the Iran ceasefire. This diplomatic move temporarily de-escalates the ongoing US-Iran conflict, which has been a significant source of market volatility since March 2026. The ceasefire extension offers a glimmer of hope for stability, influencing investor sentiment positively across major indices. However, the underlying tensions and the fragility of such agreements suggest continued vigilance is warranted.
