Global stocks climbed to a record as hopes rose for a US-Iran deal to open the Strait of Hormuz, while investors renewed bets on the artificial intelligence trade, driving gains in chipmakers.
S&P 500 futures rose after the index hit another all-time high, buoyed by a rally in technology stocks. Europe’s Stoxx 600 hit a new record, as did MSCI’s All Country World Index.
Brent crude held around $80 a barrel after Tuesday’s plunge, as Axios reported that Washington, Tehran and Oman were nearing an agreement to resume oil flows through the Strait. Treasuries were steady and gold advanced as traders curbed expectations for interest-rate hikes.
