US Stocks Rise Sharply

2026-06-11 20:16 By Luisa Carvalho 1 min. read

US stocks closed sharply higher on Thursday, with the S&P 500 rising 1.8%, the Nasdaq gaining 2.5%, and the Dow Jones climbing 930 points.

Investor sentiment improved amid a pullback in oil prices after President Trump cancelled strikes against Iran after earlier threatening "very hard" attacks tonight.

He also claimed a deal had been agreed in principle by several allies in the Middle East, including Israel, without elaborating.

Further support came from a rally in technology shares as investors positioned themselves ahead of SpaceX's expected IPO tomorrow.

Micron and AMD soared 11% and 8%, respectively, while Lam Research added 12.7% and Intel jumped over 10% after being upgraded by BofA on soaring CPU orders.

On the other hand, Oracle slipped nearly 9% as investors focused on a cloud revenue miss and rising AI infrastructure costs despite an earnings beat.

On the data front, PPI data pointed to accelerating prices in May, consolidating bets that the Fed will raise rates this year.
