Bloomberg reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Iran is considering a short-term pause to shipments through the Strait of Hormuz to avoid testing a US blockade and scuppering a fresh round of peace talks<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They cited a person familiar with Iran’s deliberations.<\/p>\n

At this point, I don’t think we need a headline to tell us the state of play. The S&P 500 is back to pre-war levels despite the loss of 400 million barrels of oil and a price shock.<\/p>\n

A peace deal is probably 85% priced in and that continues to go up with S&P 500 futures up 19 points today.<\/p>\n

I think there is still upside because the market is still digesting Anthropic’s Mythos model and a potential step-change in AI capability. Now these models are often over-hyped but at least this new one shows that there’s still enthusiasm and that kind of sentiment will drive more money into the space.<\/p>\n

That said, software stocks rebounded yesterday in a big way. The IGV software ETF rose 5.4% in what might have been a short squeeze but it’s a return to the big question of whether AI will eat software.<\/p>\n

WTI crude oil is down $2.69 to $96.43 and is essentially back to Friday’s closing level.<\/p>\n

Today’s economic data includes US PPI, the FOMC Minutes and comments from Daly and Waller.<\/p>\n

Just now, the ADP weekly employment report was released and rose to 39,250. That’s the highest four-week average since the report was introduced in September.<\/p>\n
