Wall Street jolts higher and recovers some of its wartime losses

Tech sector led gains as oil prices dropped, easing costs for fuel-dependent firms, while U.S. Treasury yields fell and consumer confidence improved, boosting markets.

  • On Tuesday, U.S. stocks surged as oil prices eased, with the S&P 500 leaping 2.3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing 1.9%, recovering from losses tied to the Iran conflict.
  • Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and persistent Persian Gulf war worries pushed oil prices as high as $119, fueling inflation in Europe and pressuring profit margins across sectors.
  • Nvidia climbed 4.8% and Marvell Technology jumped 11.4% after Nvidia invested $2 billion in Marvell; separately, Centessa Pharmaceuticals soared 44.9% following Eli Lilly's acquisition announcement.
  • Following better-than-expected economic reports, the 10-year Treasury yield fell to 4.30% from 4.35% late Monday, easing borrowing costs for households and businesses across the economy.
  • President Donald Trump urged the United Kingdom and allies to secure the Strait while threatening the "obliteration" of Iranian power plants, leaving markets uncertain about the conflict's duration and oil supply impact.
