Here are the three reasons why markets are rallying-
Israel-Iran conflict easing
The markets sentiments turned bullish after the US President Donald Trump announced that he decide in the next two weeks whether or not to get involved in the Iran-Israel conflict. “Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,” said Press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a White House press briefing.
Crude Oil prices drop
Also, the fall in crude oil prices added to the investors’ cheers. The Brent crude prices dropped significantly by almost $2 on Friday following Trump postponing its decision of involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. The Brent futures decreased $1.89, or 2.4%, to $76.96 per barrel.
