Wall Street Journal Markets •

Global equities gained momentum as diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran boosted investor sentiment. The U.S. dollar strengthened against major currencies, reflecting market optimism about potential easing of geopolitical tensions that have roiled energy markets in recent months.

U.S. futures climbed in early European trading, extending a rebound after technology stocks experienced a pause in their recent decline. The move higher across Asian markets set a positive tone for European trading sessions, with investors monitoring international developments.

The market rally suggests investors are pricing in reduced geopolitical risk premiums, potentially benefiting sectors sensitive to energy prices and international relations. This shift in market sentiment indicates traders are becoming more comfortable with the current geopolitical landscape, at least for the near term.
