President Trump cancelled scheduled strikes against Iran. He stated that discussion and final points have been approved in both concepts and great detail by all parties including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others. Iran was not mentioned as having approved the deal.
Markets responded immediately with increased volume and bullish price action. The NASDAQ moved from lows of 697 to highs of 712 in minutes, representing a 2% gain.
The market rally occurred because Trump cancelled the attacks. Escalations had been high after the US attacked Iran the previous day. Hours earlier, Trump posted on Truth Social that if Iran did not accept a peace deal by the end of the day, the US would bomb them. The tone then shifted to pursuing a peace deal instead.
Markets frequently celebrate peace deals. This has occurred 38 times previously, but markets rarely sell off when attacks are cancelled.
The SpaceX IPO is scheduled for the following day. It is described as one of the most anticipated IPOs in the speaker's adult life. Over $70 billion in retail orders have been placed. SpaceX is raising $75 billion, meaning retail interest alone could nearly fill the entire offering.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) report was released one hour before markets opened. Overall PPI came in at 6.5 versus the expected 6.4, up from the previous 5.7. Core PPI came in at 0.4% versus the expected 0.5% increase, showing no change from the prior 4.9 reading.
