What Happened?

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the major indices rebounded (Nasdaq +1.5%, S&P 500 +1.0%) as reports pointed to easing tensions between Israel and Iran.

The Wall Street Journal said senior Iranian officials had signaled a willingness to restart stalled nuclear talks, on the condition that Washington refrain from joining Israel's ongoing strikes. This development triggered a significant decline in oil prices, easing inflation concerns.

Also, it is possible some investors were buying the dip following the sell-off at the end of the previous week.

The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.
