Equity markets and bonds climbed on Monday as oil prices retreated, fueled by growing hopes that the conflict in the Middle East may be nearing an end. The S&P 500 is set to record a 0.4% increase, marking its largest single-day rise since May, following comments from President Donald Trump suggesting the U.S. could conclude the war with Iran within two to three weeks. European stocks surged 2%, while Asian shares rose 4.9%. Brent crude briefly dipped below $100 a barrel, contributing to a broader risk-on sentiment. The dollar experienced its most significant decline in a week, reflecting shifting investor priorities.
