Stock markets around the world hit record highs on Tuesday as investors welcomed news of potential de-escalation in the Strait of Hormuz and a possible trade agreement. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at all-time highs, with technology and energy sectors leading the rally.

The surge was driven by diplomatic efforts to secure shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, reducing the risk of supply disruptions, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's comments hinting at a potential agreement with key trading partners. This has fueled hopes for a resolution to ongoing tariff disputes.

Oil prices plummeted on Tuesday, falling by more than 4% as traders priced in a lower risk premium due to the improved outlook for Hormuz. Brent crude and WTI both saw significant declines, but energy analysts warn that the underlying volatility remains.
