Overnight Developments
U.S.-Iran Peace Deal Breakthrough — TheStreet
President Trump canceled planned strikes on Iran and announced a peace deal — expected to be finalized as soon as Sunday — that would end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The framework reportedly pairs a U.S. commitment to lift oil sanctions with Iran’s pledge to reopen the trade route within 30 days. The de-escalation triggered a global risk-on rally across Asia and Europe overnight. Affected sectors: Energy, Transportation, Aerospace, Global Trade
Oil Prices Collapse on De-escalation — TheStreet
WTI crude fell ~4% to roughly $84/barrel and Brent dropped a similar amount to ~$87 on signs of an imminent peace deal. Lower energy prices ease inflation fears and support consumer and corporate margins — a tailwind for cyclicals, airlines, and industrials. Affected sectors: Energy, Airlines, Consumer, Industrials
SpaceX Debuts in Record IPO — TheStreet
SpaceX went public at $135/share (~$1.77 trillion valuation), raising ~$75 billion in what is being called the largest IPO in history. The debut underscored strong investor appetite for growth assets amid the improving geopolitical backdrop. Affected sectors: Aerospace, Technology, Capital Markets

Watchlist Movers
- RKLB -5.53% pre-market — Rocket Lab slips as the record SpaceX IPO debut draws investor capital and attention in the launch space; no company-specific news confirmed.
- SMR -3.41% pre-market — NuScale Power pulls back; no company-specific catalyst confirmed, likely sympathy weakness as capital rotates toward the risk-on cyclical and energy trade.
International Markets
Asia and Europe rallied broadly on the Iran de-escalation. Nikkei 225 +2.77%, Hang Seng +1.93%, DAX +1.64%, FTSE 100 +1.19%, and Shanghai Composite +1.10%. The synchronized global move reflects a clear risk-on shift on easing geopolitical and oil-price risk.
What to Watch at Open
Watch whether the Iran peace-deal optimism holds into the US session — energy names and oil-sensitive sectors will likely lag while airlines, industrials, and cyclicals lead. Keep an eye on any official confirmation of the deal timeline, since the rally is built on a framework that has not yet been finalized.
