U.S. Market Performance: On June 24, U.S. markets closed higher with the Nasdaq 100 reaching a record close and the S&P 500 nearing its previous peak, driven by positive investor sentiment following a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, despite a significant increase in the current account deficit.
Global Market Trends: Asian markets showed gains, while European indices experienced slight declines; commodities saw oil prices rise due to firm U.S. demand and easing geopolitical tensions, although gold prices were supported by a weaker dollar.
