Market Rally Amid Geopolitical Tensions

 

Wall Street surged early today, driven by a mix of corporate earnings reports and geopolitical developments. The assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran has led to a significant spike in oil prices, with U.S. benchmark crude oil rising by $2.10 to $76.83 per barrel and Brent crude increasing by $2.05 to $80.12 per barrel.
