Investors drove major indexes higher as hopes for de-escalation in U.S.-Iran conflict outweighed recent military actions.
Wall Street’s main indexes climbed Tuesday as investors weighed the prospect of reduced U.S.-Iran tensions despite recent U.S. strikes. The Dow added 0.1%, while the S&P 500 also advanced, reflecting cautious optimism in equity markets.
The gains followed a volatile period marked by heightened geopolitical risks. Earlier sessions saw sharp swings as investors monitored developments in the Middle East, with prior declines tied to escalating conflict fears.
