Bitcoin<\/span>, Stocks, and Gold<\/span> Prices Jump<\/h2>\n

The S&P 500<\/a> closed up approximately 2.4% near 6,496. The Nasdaq Composite<\/a> gained roughly 3.3% to around 21,475. The Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a> added about 2.1% to close near 46,176, and the Russell 2000<\/a> moved higher across the same range. At one point intraday, the Nasdaq was up nearly 4%. About 77% of stocks advanced on the session.<\/p>\n

The catalyst stemmed from reporting<\/a> that said President Trump signaled willingness to end U.S. military operations in Iran, even if the Strait of Hormuz stays partially closed. Alongside this, Iran has also suggested<\/a> it is willing to negotiate under specific demands. Those headlines were enough to flip the tape.<\/p>\n

The reversal came one session after a rough March 30, when the S&P 500 slipped 0.4% and the Nasdaq<\/a> dropped 0.7% as oil prices climbed and semiconductor stocks came under pressure. Tuesday\u2019s bounce did not erase a painful quarter.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 ended Q1 down roughly 7%, its worst quarter since 2022, weighed down by oil-driven inflation<\/span> fears, a tech pullback, and the Magnificent Seven sliding into correction territory. The Iran<\/a> conflict defined the quarter. WTI crude settled Tuesday around $101\u2013$102 per barrel after trading between $99 and $106 intraday.<\/p>\n

Brent hovered near $104\u2013$106, off from recent peaks above $110. The monthly oil gain in March was the largest in recent memory, and U.S. gasoline prices crossed $4 per gallon. Gold<\/a> traded between $4,500 and $4,681 per ounce, consolidating after a run to record highs. Silver moved more decisively, posting gains of 3\u20137% in spot and futures markets to reach approximately $73\u2013$75 per ounce.<\/p>\n
