Wall Street rebounds cautiously as the U.S.-Iran ceasefire is extended
🌤 U.S. stock futures moved higher after Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran indefinitely, triggering a relief rally after several sessions dominated by war headlines. Premarket trading showed both S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures advancing, suggesting that short-term risk appetite has improved.
🌍 Europe reacted more cautiously, with the STOXX 600 staying nearly flat as markets balanced lower geopolitical stress against still-elevated energy risks. Energy and materials outperformed, while travel and leisure lagged, showing that sentiment has improved but remains far from broad-based.
⛽ The key point is that markets are not treating this as a full reset, because the Hormuz situation remains unstable and oil is still hovering near the $100 area. That keeps inflation concerns alive and makes the current rebound look more like a measured recovery than a clean risk-on breakout.
👀 Over the next 24–48 hours, U.S. equities will likely keep tracking headlines from the Middle East and moves in crude. The short-term tone is more constructive, but it is still a conditional bullish setup rather than an all-clear signal.
