Global stock markets experienced an upward trend on Tuesday after a surge in response to the news of a peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran. The dollar maintained its value against the yen following the Bank of Japan's decision to increase rates to a historic 31-year high.

Investors displayed renewed interest in technology stocks, spurred by SpaceX's noteworthy IPO, which saw its shares soar nearly 20% on Monday, bringing its market value to over $2 trillion. Meanwhile, Nvidia's recent $25 billion bond market tap further attracted investor attention.

Oil prices saw a decline, trading at just above $81 a barrel, amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions. Analysts remain cautious about the long-term durability of the U.S.-Iran peace deal, noting several unresolved issues, while economic metrics like systemic inflation and consumer impact remain significant concerns.
