The S&P 500 closed Monday at 7,554.29, up 1.65%, as the Nasdaq surged 3.1%. This sharp rally appeared closely tied to geopolitical developments. On Sunday, June 14, President Trump announced the US-Iran peace deal via Truth Social, simultaneously authorizing the toll-free reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and removing the naval blockade.
