Major progress has emerged in peace talks between the United States and Iran.

The three major U.S. stock indices rose in unison to set new all-time highs. Bitcoin (BTC) continued to climb; short sellers were squeezed, hitting futures markets heavily positioned for shorting. BTC’s highest point yesterday reached $82,850, lifting the overall crypto market.
The dawn of a U.S.-Iran peace deal dispels the shadow of the energy crisis; oil price plunges by more than 7%
According to Axios, the White House believes it is close to reaching a one-page memorandum of understanding containing 14 points to end the war and establish a framework for more detailed nuclear talks. Crude oil prices fell by more than 7% in a single day, the largest single-day drop in recent months. Analysts noted that if the peace agreement is officially signed, the risk of shipping disruption in the Strait of Hormuz would be significantly reduced, and global oil prices could retreat from their highs.

NVIDIA shares jumped 5.77% in a day, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose another 4%, nearing the 11,000-point mark. Analysts believe that the sustained large-scale investment by major tech companies in AI infrastructure remains the core driver behind NASDAQ setting new highs repeatedly.
