June 15 (Reuters) - Wall Street rallied on Monday, with the Nasdaq climbing 3% and the Dow marking a record-high close after the United States and Iran struck a preliminary agreement to end the Middle East war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, leading to an easing of inflation fears as crude oil prices dropped. The deal framework — expected to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday — did not address key issues such as Tehran's nuclear program and the Israel-Lebanon conflict. Still U.S. crude futures settled down 4.9% following the news and hit their lowest level since March, aiding shares of energy-sensitive airline and cruise stocks and hurting energy shares. Rate-sensitive technology stocks rallied as investors were more comfortable taking on riskier ?bets with lower oil prices easing inflation fears. "Markets are higher on a classic relief rally. We have a US-Iran deal that's driving oil sharply lower. This is easing inflation fears and basically pushing investors back into risk assets like technology," said Gene Goldman, chief investment officer at Cetera Investment Management, in El Segundo, California. The three main indexes marked their third consecutive session of gains, recovering after Middle East tensions and a pullback in AI-related stocks had put Wall Street's record climb ?on pause more than a week ago. https://www.reuters.com/business/wall-st-futures-advance-over-1-markets-c heer-iran-deal-2026-06-15/
