Markets have been rugged numerous times over the past weeks on supposed Middle East peace deals, but President Trump's Saturday announcement of a coming agreement for the moment continues to have legs. Oil prices and bond yields are sharply lower in response, and that's helping stocks, where the Nasdaq has surged 1.4% in Tuesday morning trade. Crypto, though, is watching from the sidelines as traders shovel capital into AI-related trades and await mega-IPOs like SpaceX and OpenAI. After briefly attempting to rally, bitcoin (BTC) is changing hands at $76,800, down nearly 1% over the past 24 hours. Ether (ETH), solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP) are down similarly.
