Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P Live Updates for June 18

US equity futures rose and oil prices retreated as President Donald Trump signed an interim deal to end the war with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route. The agreement, which was met with skepticism by some lawmakers and Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, aimed to ease tensions in the region and prevent further escalation. As a result, investors grew more optimistic about the global economy, leading to a surge in stock prices. The deal also had a positive impact on the oil market, with prices dropping as the risk of a disruption to oil supplies decreased. The interim agreement marked a significant development in the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran, and its implications will be closely watched by investors and policymakers in the coming days.
