U.S. stocks climbed as optimism grew over a potential peace deal between the United States and Iran.

On April 15, the S&P 500 rose 0.8%, closing above the 7,000 level for the first time ever. The NASDAQ Composite gained 1.6%, extending its winning streak to 11 consecutive sessions and hitting a new record high. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.2%.

Technology stocks led the rally, with major companies such as Oracle, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Tesla posting strong gains.

Investors are increasingly betting on a near-term agreement as negotiations between Washington and Tehran continue. Donald Trump said the conflict could end “very soon,” reinforcing market optimism.

As geopolitical tensions eased, the U.S. dollar weakened slightly while Treasury yields moved higher, reflecting reduced demand for safe-haven assets.

Oil prices remained stable, with Brent crude and WTI crude showing minimal changes.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve noted that the conflict continues to create economic uncertainty, affecting business decisions related to hiring, pricing, and investment.
