The S&P 500 Index hits its first historical high since the Iran War According to a report by Golden Finance, on April 16th, the S&P 500 index hit a historic high in intraday trading on Wednesday, marking the first new high since the outbreak of the Iran War. Market expectations for a easing of the war situation and strong profit expectations have attracted investors to return to risky assets. Setting a new high while the geopolitical crisis continues marks a shift in market risk pricing, with traders appearing more willing to account for lower escalation risks in the short term. When the conflict broke out last month, the stock market fell sharply, and the crude oil market experienced a historic shock, reigniting concerns about inflation and the outlook for US interest rates. Since the outbreak of the conflict on February 28th, the S&P 500 index has fallen as much as 9% at one point, but has not met the criteria for confirming a "technical adjustment", while both the Nasdaq and Dow Jones have confirmed entering the adjustment range. The market is also supported by the positive profit prospects of enterprises. Large bank executives have stated that despite the impact of oil prices, American consumers remain resilient and have ample reserves for mergers and acquisitions as well as IPOs.
