The US and Iran are moving closer to a peace agreement, according to Handelsblatt. While it remains unclear how far the path to a solution is, investors on Monday are increasingly pricing in an end to the war. The DAX is rising toward a record high, while the oil price is falling sharply.
The movement in the markets shows that investors are betting on de-escalation in the Middle East. An end to hostilities would stabilize oil supplies and reduce uncertainty on the stock exchanges.
