Nasdaq rallies 2% on Iran peace hopes
Watch: Watch upcoming earnings from Goldman Sachs and tech leaders for signals on market resilience amid remaining geopolitical risks.
Full analysis
Nasdaq surged about 2% on April 14 following signs of progress in U.S.-Iran peace talks scheduled in Pakistan within two days. The CNN Fear & Greed index rose to 46.9, prompting a shift to a neutral market sentiment. This rally contrasts sharply with April 13, when futures dropped 0.6% after Trump ordered a Strait of Hormuz blockade, sending oil prices above $100 per barrel, increasing volatility and bearish market pressures.
This swing highlights how sensitive Nasdaq is to geopolitical developments and oil price shocks, making near-term gains vulnerable to conflict escalations despite improving investor sentiment.
