The potential U.S.-Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is causing Brent Crude futures to drop significantly, impacting energy markets. Meanwhile, AI-driven demand is boosting technology stocks like Dell Technologies and Lenovo, pushing the S&P 500 and global stock indices to record highs. Currency markets are also active, with the Japan — Japanese yen under pressure and the New Zealand rising due to central bank actions.

Event Summary

Global markets are experiencing a mixed but generally positive day, with world stocks reaching record highs. A key driver is the anticipation of a potential deal between the United States and Iran to extend their ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has led to a significant weekly drop in Brent Crude futures. However, U.S. President Donald Trump's approval is still pending. In the technology sector, AI-euphoria is fueling gains, with Dell Technologies shares soaring after an optimistic revenue outlook and Lenovo also seeing strong performance. The S&P 500 closed at a record high, and analysts like Damian McIntyre of Federated Hermes are revising targets upwards. In currency markets, the Japan — Japanese yen is under pressure, prompting intervention from Japan's finance ministry, while the New Zealand has strengthened following a hawkish outlook from the New Zealand — Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Economic data from the United States, Europe, and Canada are also being closely watched.
