US stocks surged with the Dow up 2% and the Nasdaq rising 2.4% after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated a potential deal with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, easing oil supply concerns and causing oil prices to fall over 5%. Palantir's shares soared nearly 30% following a strong earnings report driven by AI demand, while Caterpillar and other AI-related tech stocks also gained. This optimism reflects broader market strength with over 84% of S&P 500 companies beating earnings expectations, signaling positive momentum ahead.
