US equities executed a dramatic reversal on Monday with the S&P 500 adding 0.9%, the Dow rising 0.5%, and the Nasdaq surging 1.3%, as the prospect of a swift conclusion to the Middle East conflict dismantled the stagflationary fears that had initially sent the avergaes plunging. President Trump suggested the military campaign against Iran was nearing completion and that the Strait of Hormuz was reopening to maritime traffic. This sparked a collapse in WTI crude to around $86 per barrel, a sharp retreat from overnight peaks of $119 that had threatened global energy stability. While financial heavyweights like Wells Fargo remained soft, the semiconductor sector provided a robust tailwind as Broadcom and AMD surged over 4.6%. Investors effectively pivoted from energy-related panic toward high-quality growth stocks, supported by Morgan Stanley analysts who noted that the US market is likely emerging from its rolling correction as fundamental earnings growth remains resilient.
