Good MorningStocks rallied on Monday after President Trump announced a five-day suspension of strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and said the U.S. and Iran have held "productive" talks, sparking a broad relief rally that snapped a four-week losing streak.
The biggest shift was in oil. Brent crude dropped below $100 after trading above $112 on Friday, affecting the broader market outlook. Cheaper fuel means less pressure on company profits, less concern about rising inflation, and a better chance the Fed will eventually cut rates. Gold also dropped to its lowest point of 2026.
Airlines were clear winners, with United and American both jumping as lower fuel costs hit their biggest expense line. Caterpillar led industrials higher. NVIDIA, Apple, and Tesla all rose as investors moved back into growth names. Banks like Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan also climbed.
The key question is whether the de-escalation will hold. Traders will be watching for follow-through on the diplomatic front and whether oil can stay below $100 heading into Tuesday's flash PMI readings.
