NEW YORK (AP) — Stock markets rallied worldwide, and oil prices eased after the United States and Iran reached a tentative deal to get the global flow of crude going again.
The S&P 500 rose 1.7% Monday on hopes that this time, the announcement of an Iran-U.S. agreement will mean a long-term fix to a conflict that has worsened inflation around the world. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.9%, and the Nasdaq composite jumped 3.1%.
Brent crude's price fell 4.8%, helping stocks of companies with big fuel bills to lead the market.
