U.S. stocks surged to one-month highs on Wednesday as a temporary ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran triggered the biggest single-day oil price collapse in years, easing concerns about energy-driven inflation and sparking a sweeping relief rally from airlines to semiconductors.<\/a><\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/strong> declared on Truth Social that Iran \u201chas gone through what will be a very productive Regime Change\u201d and pledged \u201cthere will be no enrichment of Uranium,\u201d adding that many of the 15 negotiating points had been agreed to and that the U.S. would work with Tehran on tariff and sanctions relief.<\/p>\n

The session was not without turbulence. Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi<\/strong> signaled that seriousness from the U.S. side would still be required to achieve lasting stability, while an early-morning report of an attack on Saudi Arabia\u2019s vital east-west oil pipeline tested risk sentiment. Iran also signaled that Israeli strikes on Lebanon made after the ceasefire will trigger a strong response.<\/p>\n

Brent crude <\/strong>fell 13.3%, settling near $94.70 per barrel.<\/p>\n

The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury<\/strong> note fell approximately three basis points to 4.27%, its lowest level in roughly three weeks, as the oil price collapse dampened inflation expectations. <\/p>\n

Markets now price in roughly a 35% chance of a Federal Reserve rate cut by year-end, compared with near-zero odds at the start of the week.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 <\/strong>climbed to 6,783, up 2.5% and hitting its highest level in roughly a month. Sandisk Corp. <\/strong>(NASDAQ:<\/a>SNDK<\/a>) and Carnival Corp.<\/strong> (NYSE:<\/a>CCL<\/a>) were both more than 10% higher, leading within the S&P 500. <\/p>\n
