Lower energy costs via reduced geopolitical risk premium in crude oil.
Extended read
Market sentiment is being bolstered by reports of progress toward a U.S.-Iran peace deal. This has led to a significant pullback in crude oil prices, which are now at their lowest levels in two months. The reduction in energy costs is seen as a tailwind for the broader S&P 500, which is attempting to recover from recent weekly losses. However, geopolitical risks have not entirely vanished. Analysts note that Iran is strategically targeting SpaceX infrastructure, likely to exert pressure on U.S. political and financial priorities during the company's historic IPO.
