  • Stocks Rally as US Proposes Iran Peace Plan Amid Ongoing Middle East Tensions
    March 25, 2026, 12:40 PM EDT. Stocks surged with the S&P 500 up 0.62%, Dow Jones 0.67%, and Nasdaq 0.75% after the U.S. sent a 15-point peace proposal to Iran to end the war. The plan includes Iran rolling back its nuclear program and allowing international monitoring in exchange for sanctions relief. Oil prices dropped over 4% due to the potential easing of supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. However, Iran rejected the peace offer, maintaining missile and drone attacks in the region, including strikes on Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The conflict continues to pressure global oil markets, disrupting approximately 7.5% of global supply. Additionally, U.S. mortgage applications fell 10.5%, and Feb import data showed a 1.2% rise, exceeding expectations.
