Investor Takeaway

The news of a ceasefire brought a fresh wave of excitement into the markets yesterday. However, renewed Middle East tensions have dampened hopes for lasting peace, and indices declined again today.

But if the war subsides, the markets could see more rallies in the upcoming days. Investors must wait for better clarity before taking fresh positions.
