Live DOW Chart
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded sharply after President Donald Trump suggested the ongoing conflict could end soon, boosting investor sentiment.
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.
