- Market Reaction: Trump's announcement of an imminent peace deal with Iran, despite Iran's denial of a final agreement, led to a strong market response, with South Korea's stock market soaring 8% and Japan's Nikkei rising 3.5%, indicating robust investor interest in risk assets.
- European Market Outlook: European stocks are expected to open nearly 2% higher, with Wall Street futures also adding to a strong overnight rally, reflecting growing investor optimism about global economic recovery.
- Central Bank Movements: The European Central Bank raised interest rates for the first time to combat war-driven inflation, but if the Strait of Hormuz reopens soon, the likelihood of further hikes will diminish, highlighting market sensitivity to monetary policy changes.
- SpaceX IPO: Elon Musk's SpaceX is debuting on the stock market today after raising a record $75 billion, valuing the company at $1.77 trillion and making its founder the world's first trillionaire, with a strong opening likely to further bolster market optimism.
