S&P 500 ends up 0.42% at five-week high as U.S.-Iran tensions ease

AI Market Summary
Easing US-Iran geopolitical risk supported risk assets, lifting US equities to multi-week highs while reducing safe-haven demand for Treasuries and pressuring WTI on lower supply-disruption fears. A firm Q2 earnings outlook, led by AI infrastructure, reinforced the positive equity tone, though cybersecurity weakness capped gains. Rates repriced modestly higher, with markets still assigning a meaningful probability of a July Fed hike.

U.S. signals that it will continue pursuing peace talks with Iran helped ease geopolitical concerns, lifting the S&P 500 0.42% on Friday to a five-week high. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose 1.4 bp to 4.565%, reflecting softer safe-haven demand. WTI crude fell nearly 1% as diplomatic developments reduced worries over supply disruptions. Markets are pricing a 32% chance of a +25 bp rate hike at the July 28-29 FOMC meeting.
