A global shares index soared to unprecedented levels on Tuesday, largely due to the cessation of hostilities in the Middle East. This temporary ceasefire between Israel and Iran resulted in oil prices declining significantly, boosting market sentiment.
Key indices on Wall Street, including the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, recorded impressive gains, as investors poured into technology and healthcare stocks. Financials and communication services also showed notable uptrends, while energy and consumer staples lagged behind.
The positive sentiment extended across Europe and Asia, with shares experiencing sizable increases. Meanwhile, oil futures saw a sharp drop, and the U.S. dollar weakened against major currencies amid fluctuating trade dynamics. The investor confidence was noted as central banks projected potential adjustments to monetary policies in response to evolving economic indicators.
