The S&P 500 edged higher and the Dow rose 350 points to extend its record high, while the Nasdaq 100 was lower.
Despite lingering inconsistencies in the terms of the deal, the US and Iran were still due to sign the agreement on Friday, with US authorities stating the Strait of Hormuz will reopen.
Bond yields pulled back further as the development softened pro-inflationary concerns ahead of the Fed's likely rate hold tomorrow, although Chairman Warsh may continue to push for monetary framework overhauls in his first meeting.
SpaceX gained 8% to rise 40% since its IPO on Friday following news it will acquire Cursor for $60 billion.
In turn, tech heavyweights trimmed their gains following their rallies earlier, with Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet traded lower.
