Summary

Markets surged on news of a US-Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, sending oil prices lower and boosting risk assets. SpaceX shares continued to soar on their second day of trading after a record IPO. UBS expects the deal to reduce inflation risk and lead to Fed cuts in 2027, while JPMorgan’s ECM head sees the IPO market strong and recommends buying SpaceX. Economist Rebecca Holmquist urged caution on stagflation, noting some improvement but remaining uncertainty.

  • JPMorgan ECM head calls SpaceX a generational opportunity and says IPO market is robust
  • Fox shares tumble on Roku acquisition; American Express rises on TripAdvisor Fork deal
  • Labor market solid but hiring cautious; stagflation risk reduced but not eliminated

Reduced oil risk lifts equities.
The US-Iran deal truncates the upside tail risk of oil, easing inflation pressure and shifting Fed expectations toward rate cuts, which supports equity markets.

Buy SpaceX, huge long-term opportunity.
SpaceX is a generationally transformational company, and despite the 19% IPO pop, the stock remains a buy with further upside as the space economy grows.
