Key Highlights
- The S&P 500 index gained as traders shifted focus from Producer Prices data to geopolitical developments.

S&P 500 Performance
The S&P 500 experienced a significant rally following President Trump's announcement to cancel planned military strikes against Iran. This decision was perceived positively by traders, leading to a surge in market confidence. Trump indicated that discussions had reached the highest levels of Iranian leadership, although Iran had not yet commented on the deal.
In response to the announcement, oil prices dropped by 5%, reflecting market volatility and uncertainty regarding the geopolitical situation. The Producer Prices Index (PPI) report showed a month-over-month increase of 1.1% in May, surpassing analyst expectations of 0.7%. However, core PPI growth was slightly below expectations at 0.4% compared to a forecast of 0.5%.
Initial Jobless Claims data revealed that 229,000 Americans filed for unemployment benefits, higher than the anticipated 219,000. Despite these mixed economic signals, traders remained focused on geopolitical developments, leading to a broad rally across most market sectors, particularly in basic materials.
NASDAQ Index Insights
The NASDAQ index gained momentum, bolstered by positive developments in the chip sector, particularly following Oracle's report that highlighted strong demand for its products. Despite Oracle's stock dropping by 10% due to raised capital expenditure guidance and lower margin forecasts, the overall sentiment in the tech sector remained optimistic.
The nearest resistance level for the NASDAQ is identified between 29,250 and 29,300, with potential for further gains if this level is successfully tested.
Dow Jones Performance
The Dow Jones index also saw gains, primarily driven by a 5% increase in Boeing's stock. The index moved above the support level of 50,400-50,500 and is attempting to settle above 50,700. A successful move above this level could lead to testing the 50 MA at 50,882, with further resistance at 51,000-51,100.
Conclusion
The market's reaction to geopolitical developments, particularly regarding the Iran situation, has overshadowed mixed economic data. Traders are optimistic about potential resolutions, which has led to a rally across major indices. The focus will remain on upcoming economic reports and geopolitical updates as markets navigate this volatile environment.
