It’s been 45 days since the bombing started in Iran. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Oil prices are falling on the hope that the U.S. blockade of the Strait will prompt renewed permanent peace talks between the U.S. and Iran.
More importantly, more than six weeks of war have done little to dampen the spirits of bullish investors. The S&P 500 closed yesterday’s trading at 6,886.24, up a little over 1%. The index is now in positive territory relative to its closing price the day before the war began.
