Stocks Soar as Oil Prices Drop Following Iran Peace Deal
Market Reaction to Iran Peace Deal
Stocks rose dramatically on Monday after news broke of a tentative agreement between the U.S. and Iran to conclude hostilities. Major market indices, such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, experienced substantial gains. Futures for the S&P 500 were up more than 1.2 percent, while Nasdaq futures surged nearly 2.1 percent.
