Top catalysts for the Dow Jones Index this week

The Dow Jones Index rebounded to 48,250, its highest level since May 4, rising 6.45% from this month’s low after the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire. The move reflects improved geopolitical risk sentiment and a broader risk-on tone in equity markets. Because the catalyst is a ceasefire between major geopolitical actors, the news has a market-wide rather than stock-specific impact.
