Stocks Settle Sharply Higher as Middle East Tensions Ease

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Monday closed up +1.48%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +1.32%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up +1.78%. September E-mini S&P futures (ESU26) rose +1.49%, and September E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQU26) rose +1.77%.

Stock indices settled sharply higher on Monday, with the S&P 500 posting a 2-month high, the Dow Jones Industrials posting a 3.5-week high, and the Nasdaq 100 posting a 1.5-week high. Stocks rallied on Monday as the latest signs of easing tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices sharply lower and allayed fears about faster inflation. The slump in crude oil also knocked bond yields lower and supported stocks. The 10-year T-note yield fell -5 bp to 4.68%.
