Market Reaction: Israel-Iran Conflict vs U.S. Stocks
U.S. stocks experienced an upward trend on Monday despite ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran. Reports indicate that Iran is seeking a ceasefire, a development that often brings volatility to global markets. However, safe-haven assets and oil prices did not exhibit the expected increases, which is unusual given the geopolitical circumstances. This divergence may suggest a growing confidence among investors regarding the resilience of U.S. markets in the face of international conflicts.
