Lebanon Ceasefire + Strait Reopening = Market Surge | Trading Opportunity
In a Nutshell
NASDAQ surged 1.36% after Iran's ceasefire-linked reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for commercial traffic, extending a 13-14 day win streak for NASDAQ and S&P 500—the longest since 2009—despite inflation, weak labor data, Iran war uncertainty, and $40B U.S. taxpayer costs. Markets show resilience with V-shaped recoveries from Trump tweets, but oil nears key support and risks rug pulls from escalation. Trade all-time highs without leverage, prepared for pullbacks and recovery.

NASDAQ market is up 1.36% on the day following news that Iran has officially reopened the Strait of Hormuz for all commercial vehicles for the remaining period of the ceasefire. Iran's statement: "in line with the ceasefire in Lebanon is that the passage for all commercial vehicles through the Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of the ceasefire." Trump called the Strait of Hormuz the "Strait of Iran" on social media. Relations between Iran and the US appear to be the best since the war started.
Markets have pushed to new all-time highs. NASDAQ and S&P 500 are on a 13 or 14-day win streak, the longest since 2009. Despite higher inflation (one of the highest in the last 12 months), weaker labor market, uncertainty from the Iran war, and $40 billion cost to American taxpayers, NASDAQ remains resilient. No reason to fight the trend.
Questions on whether markets are irrationally bullish or setting up for a rug pull. Trump is notorious for tweets; escalation could cause quick reversal. During Iran war, NASDAQ pullbacks led to V-shaped recoveries from Trump's Monday tweets, with no real sell-off. Oil has taken a substantial hit and is approaching previous support on the 1-hour or 4-hour timeframe—watching closely for recovery if escalation occurs.
