President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the protracted battle would soon cease boosted investor mood and caused the Dow Jones Industrial Average to rise substantially.

Market Rebound

Major U.S. stock indices recovered after early-session losses nearing 2%. Markets turned higher following Trump’s remarks that the war might end soon and that he may consider reducing sanctions on Russian oil. Investors also awaited further clarity from his scheduled news conference at 5:30 PM.

By the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the day roughly 0.5% higher, marking a strong turnaround from earlier declines.

Technical Support Holds for Dow Jones

From a technical perspective, the rebound came after the index held support at its 200-day simple moving average (SMA) on the daily chart. This level acted as a key support zone, and the bounce reinforced the view that the Dow’s broader uptrend remains intact.

Oil and Yields Decline

Geopolitical comments also moved other markets. Crude oil prices dropped sharply, falling from a session high of $119.48 to as low as $81.19, before stabilizing near $87, down about 4.76% on the day.

At the same time, U.S. Treasury yields moved lower. The 10-year yield retreated from around 4.20% earlier in the session to roughly 4.105%, reflecting easing market tension.
