NEW YORK<\/strong> | Stock markets rallied worldwide, and oil prices eased after the United States and Iran reached a tentative deal to get the global flow of crude going again. The S&P 500 rose 1.7% Monday on hopes that this time, the announcement of an Iran-U.S. agreement will mean a long-term fix to a conflict that has worsened inflation around the world. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.9%, and the Nasdaq composite jumped 3.1%. Brent crude\u2019s price fell 4.8%, helping stocks of companies with big fuel bills to lead the market. AI stocks also rallied following their sharp swings over the last couple weeks.<\/p>\n

Stocks got a lift after the price for a barrel of Brent crude oil fell 4.8% to $83.17, back to where it was in early March. While that\u2019s still above its price of roughly $70 from before the war, it\u2019s lower than the $100 plus it cost just a few weeks ago. The hope is that lower oil prices will take pressure off households and businesses, which have had to pay higher prices for everything from food to fuel to fertilizer because of the war with Iran.<\/p>\n

Iran confirmed the deal, but it does not include a final agreement on issues like Iran\u2019s nuclear program. Negotiations on that are expected to continue over the next 60 days, which leaves opportunity for hiccups that could derail the agreement. And even if the Strait of Hormuz does fully reopen on Friday as expected, it will take months for the energy industry to get back to full speed.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

For now, though, relief swept through financial markets worldwide.<\/p>\n

On Wall Street, stocks of companies with big fuel bills were instant winners. United Airlines flew 4.2% higher, and cruise operator Carnival rose 3.3%.<\/p>\n

Stocks of companies enmeshed in the artificial-intelligence industry also jumped. These stocks have yo-yoed in recent weeks, going from roaring to records to suddenly turning lower. The concern is whether such stocks shot too high, too fast because of AI mania, and their careening moves have sometimes reversed direction by the hour.<\/p>\n

Micron Technology rallied 10.8%, and Advanced Micro Devices rose 6.9%. Nvidia\u2019s climb of 3.4% was the strongest force pushing the S&P 500 upward because the AI chip company is Wall Street\u2019s most valuable company, giving it more weight on the index than any other.<\/p>\n

SpaceX, Elon Musk\u2019s rocket company that also owns the AI company xAI, rose 16.3% in its second day of trading on Wall Street. Its successful debut on the Nasdaq suggested plenty of demand still exists among investors for AI. The market has given SpaceX a total value of more than $2.1 trillion, making it bigger than Exxon Mobil, Bank of America and Coca-Cola combined.<\/p>\n

In the bond market, Treasury yields eased on hopes that lower oil prices will remove pressure on central banks to raise interest rates.<\/p>\n

The yield on the 10-year Treasury slipped to 4.46% from 4.48% late Friday.<\/p>\n

Europe\u2019s central bank last week became the first major one in the world to raise interest rates to combat high inflation. High interest rates can keep a lid on inflation, but they also slow economies and undercut prices for all kinds of investments, including stocks and cryptocurrencies. They hit investments seen as the most expensive in particular, and some critics are calling the AI industry a bubble where investment inflated too far.<\/p>\n

The Fed will announce its latest decision on interest rates later this week, which will be the first under its new chair, Kevin Warsh. President Donald Trump nominated Warsh to the position, and Trump has loudly been calling for lower interest rates.<\/p>\n

But traders see it as a near certainty that the Fed will leave its main interest rate steady after its two-day meeting ends Wednesday. Traders had been raising bets that the Fed may actually have to raise interest rates this year because of how much inflation accelerated and how solid the U.S. job market remains.<\/p>\n

But the tentative deal between the United States and Iran means traders are now betting on only a 58% chance of a hike this year, down from 71% a week ago, according to data from CME Group.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on Wall Street, Roku fell 1.2% after the company announced that Fox Corp. is buying the streaming pioneer in a cash-and-stock deal valued at approximately $22 billion.<\/p>\n

Roku\u2019s stock had already soared 20% Friday, when media reports emerged about a deal, which will give Fox access to the Roku channel, first-party data and more than 100 million global streaming households. Fox\u2019s stock fell 16.7%.<\/p>\n

In stock markets abroad, indexes climbed in Asia and Europe. Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 jumped 5% for one of the world\u2019s biggest gains and finished at a record.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is great news,\u201d said Takashi Hiroki, chief strategist at Monex. \u201cBuying by foreign investors is leading the market with expectations of easing tensions around the situation in the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n

South Korea\u2019s Kospi surged even more, 5.2%, thanks in part to continued rallies for AI winners like Samsung Electronics.<\/p>\n

London\u2019s FTSE 100 was an outlier and slipped 0.4%.<\/p>\n
