The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 gained on Monday, while oil prices fell sharply, after the United States and Iran paused airstrikes, according to financial news aggregator InsiderPaper.
U.S. stock markets rose and oil prices declined sharply on Monday in the first trading session following reports that President Donald Trump had ordered a halt to American strikes on Iran. Oil prices fell approximately 5% on Monday morning, according to Israeli media reports. Later in the day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 both gained, with financial news aggregator InsiderPaper linking the move to the pause in the U.S.-Iran confrontation. The market movements come after Axios reported on Saturday that Trump had ordered a two-week suspension of kinetic operations, and after the White House confirmed that 'all options remain on the table' regarding Iran. The oil price decline reflects easing concerns about supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, which had been a central flashpoint in the recent escalation since the collapse of the Islamabad agreement. The exact extent of the U.S. military pause remains under discussion, with some reports suggesting the Pentagon had prepared plans for a broader campaign that Trump has delayed for now.
