Stocks and bonds rose while oil fell as traders weighing the viability of US-Iran ceasefire talks sent markets to a series of big swings.
The S&P 500 added about 1% as efforts by the US to end the war gathered pace, eclipsing news that Iran rejected a US ceasefire proposal and maintained attacks on Israel and Gulf Arab states. Brent dropped to around $100. Treasuries pared this month’s losses.
President Donald Trump has been pushing for talks with Iran in a bid to halt the fighting, with the US compiling a 15-point peace proposal, according to people familiar with the matter.
