  • Global Stocks Surge as Oil Prices Ease Amid Iran War Ceasefire Hopes
    April 1, 2026, 5:03 PM EDT. Global stock markets rallied, led by an 8.4% surge in South Korea and gains in Europe and the U.S., with the S&P 500 up 0.7% and Dow Jones rising 0.5%. Optimism follows President Trump's claim that U.S. military action could end in 2-3 weeks and disputed reports of an Iran ceasefire request. Oil prices dropped toward $100 per barrel from over $101 after recent highs, easing inflation fears tied to Persian Gulf supply disruptions. However, Iran denied ceasefire claims and continued attacks included an oil tanker strike and airport assault, highlighting ongoing conflict risks. This mix fuels volatile swings in markets concerned about long-term oil supply and inflation impacts.
