April 9: Following former President Trump’s announcement of a two-week temporary ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, market risk sentiment improved rapidly, driving sharp rebounds in the three major U.S. stock indexes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged over 1,300 points in a single session—its best one-day performance in nearly a year—while WTI crude oil futures plummeted more than 16%.
