Stocks found their footing as two distinct catalysts emerged simultaneously. Oil eased after traders priced out the worst-case scenario regarding Iran, relieving pressure on energy-sensitive sectors. At the same time, chipmaker shares surged on a fresh wave of AI-driven demand signals from within the ecosystem.
The dual relief helped lift broader indices, though gains were concentrated in tech and energy-linked names. The market’s move suggests a temporary reprieve from geopolitical and sector-specific headwinds.
