  • Stocks: Israel and Iran exchanged missile strikes for a fourth day, but investors are betting that the conflict will remain at least somewhat contained. Reports that Iran wants to de-escalate the conflict and even restart nuclear talks seemed to underline that idea, and markets rose strongly throughout the afternoon.
  • Commodities: Gold fell as hopes of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran made investors more bullish, while Iranian oil infrastructure was spared from the attacks, pushing crude prices lower.
  • Bonds: A $13 billion 20-year bond auction this afternoon yielded strong demand, rounding out a series of solid auctions over the last few days that seemingly point to renewed investor confidence in US fixed income.
