Trump's Iran Statement Eases Market Concerns
President Trump announced that the U.S. will not take military action against Iran, easing market fears of an escalating geopolitical conflict. U.S. stock futures rose in response, with the S&P 500 futures gaining about 0.5%, Nasdaq 100 futures rising around 0.7%, and Dow Jones futures advancing roughly 0.4%. The S&P 500 is now only about 3% away from its all-time high, indicating a clear recovery in risk appetite. Tech stocks and airlines are expected to benefit from the de-escalation, with capital shifting away from safe-haven and energy assets toward growth stocks and large-cap blue chips.
