Global markets shifted dramatically following the US-Iran ceasefire announcement. Oil prices collapsed as geopolitical tensions eased, with Brent Crude plummeting 7.57 percent to $91.87 per barrel and WTI dropping 9.63 percent to $85.57. This sharp commodity correction reflected investor relief over stabilized energy supplies. Meanwhile, equity markets surged on the positive sentiment. US indices posted strong gains, with the Dow Jones rising 1.79 percent to 49,447.43, the S&P 500 climbing 1.20 percent, and Nasdaq advancing 1.52 percent. Asian markets showed mixed performance, with Japan's Nikkei declining 1.78 percent while some regional indices posted modest gains. Gold bucked the energy trend, gaining 0.94 percent to $4,833.56. The contrasting moves highlight how geopolitical risk reduction drives capital rotation from defensive commodities into growth-oriented equities.
