US Stock Market Highlightes: Wall Street extended its rally on Thursday, with benchmark indices closing at fresh highs as easing geopolitical tensions and ceasefire signals lifted sentiment.
The S&P 500 rose 0.26% to settle at 7,041.28, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.36% to close at 24,102.70. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 115 points, or 0.24%, ending at 48,578.72.
That optimism was reinforced after Donald Trump said Israel and Lebanon had agreed to a 10-day ceasefire starting 5 p.m. ET, following his conversations with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A pause in hostilities between Israel and Lebanon has been a key condition for advancing US-Iran negotiations.
Trump added that the next round of US-Iran talks could take place “probably, maybe, next weekend,” reiterating earlier remarks that the war is “very close to over.”
