Global Market Reaction

The deal has sparked a significant rally in global markets, with the $SPY surging 2.5% to $423.50.

The rally has also extended to other sectors, with the $NVDA surging 3.2% to $555.50.

Oil Prices Slide

However, the Iran nuclear deal has had a negative impact on oil prices, with $WTI crude oil sliding 4.2% to $65.50 per barrel. The decline in oil prices has been driven by concerns that the agreement could lead to increased oil production and supply, which could put downward pressure on prices.

Bond Market Reaction

The bond market has also reacted positively to the Iran nuclear deal, with the 10-year Treasury yield sliding 10 basis points to 2.5%. The decline in yields has been driven by the reduced risk of a conflict in the Middle East, which has led to a decrease in demand for safe-haven assets.
