Stock Market Today

  • Stocks Surge on Iran Deal Hopes and Strait of Hormuz Developments
    May 20, 2026, 3:33 PM EDT. Stocks jumped on Wednesday following announcements that the U.S. and Iran are in the 'final stages' of a potential diplomatic agreement, raising hopes for easing Middle East tensions. The Strait of Hormuz, a key oil chokepoint, showed increased ship movement, signaling possible relief for energy markets after heightened risks and U.S. naval blockades. Oil prices pulled back, with the US Oil Fund ETF (USO) dropping 5%. Significant U.S. oil exports-at near-record levels-could further stabilize prices. Technology stocks, especially in AI, rallied; Arm Holdings surged above 15%, while NVIDIA's upcoming earnings report remains highly anticipated. Investors are cautiously optimistic but wary of past repeated false deal break-downs and ongoing geopolitical risks.
