  • U.S. Stocks Rise Sharply on Iran Deal Optimism and Oil Price Drop
    May 21, 2026, 5:05 AM EDT. U.S. stock indexes surged on Wednesday led by the S&P 500 (+1.08%), Dow Jones (+1.31%), and Nasdaq 100 (+1.66%), driven by a sharp decline in crude oil prices of over 5% amid hopes for an Iran war resolution. Lower oil prices eased inflation expectations and caused the 10-year Treasury yield to drop 10 basis points to 4.57%. Semiconductor shares advanced, with Nvidia rising over 1% ahead of earnings expected to show strong AI-related sales growth. Federal Reserve minutes indicated a hawkish stance with many policymakers supporting potential rate hikes if inflation remains above 2%. The market anticipates a low chance (7%) of an interest rate cut at the upcoming FOMC meeting on June 16-17. Mortgage applications declined, and the 30-year fixed mortgage rate increased to 6.56%.
