Lower Treasury yields and a more than 2% drop in oil prices boosted sentiment after signs of potential diplomatic progress in the Middle East. At the opening bell, the Dow gained 0.49%, the S&P 500 rose 0.55%, and the Nasdaq advanced 0.76%.
Key Takeaways
Investors are returning to AI-related stocks after last week's selloff, while easing oil prices and lower bond yields are providing support to equities. Markets are also watching upcoming central-bank commentary and geopolitical developments for further direction.
