Oil fell and US equity futures climbed as optimism grew over Washington’s efforts to end the nearly month-long Middle East conflict. West Texas Intermediate crude slid as much as 4.9% in early Asian trading after the New York Times reported the US had sent Iran a 15-point plan, following a separate report by Israel’s Channel 12 that Washington was seeking a one-month ceasefire.

Oil fell and US equity futures climbed as optimism grew over Washington’s efforts to end the nearly month-long Middle East conflict. West Texas Intermediate crude slid as much as 4.9% in early Asian trading after the New York Times reported the US had sent Iran a 15-point plan, following a separate report by Israel’s Channel 12 that Washington was seeking a one-month ceasefire. S&P 500 futures climbed after the index pared losses to close 0.4% lower. Contracts for Sydney and Tokyo shares pointed higher, while those for Hong Kong were little changed. “Crude remains the tip of the spear in this headline-driven market,” said Rebecca Babin , a senior energy trader at CIBC Private Wealth Group. “Reports that a potential 30-day ceasefire may be in the works are easing worst-case pricing scenarios and concerns around demand destruction. Details remain limited and headlines are fluid, but signs there may be an off-ramp are reducing some of the risk premium in the market.” President Donald Trump signaled that Iran had offered a “present” as a show of good faith in negotiations, noting it was related to Strait of Hormuz flows. The US and regional mediators are discussing the possibility of holding high-level peace talks as soon as Thursday, but await a response from Tehran, Axios reported . As the conflict that’s upended markets raged on, Trump said Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance alongside special envoys are involved in negotiations. Still, the US is planning to deploy about 3,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East, the Wall Street Journal reported . Iran has started charging transit fees on some commercial vessels passing the Strait of Hormuz, people familiar with the matter have said, the latest sign of its control over the most-important maritime energy route. Yet Tehran said non-hostile foreign ships are allowed to cross the waterway on its terms. “It all comes down to the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz,” said Matt Ma...

Gold steadied after snapping a nine-day decline, following reports that the US is pursuing talks with Iran to end the war in the Middle East even as it sends more troops to the region. Bullion was near $4,480 an ounce in early trading, having ended the previous session up 1.6%. US President Donald Trump signaled that Iran had offered a “ present ” as a show of good faith in negotiations, noting it was related to energy flows via the Strait of Hormuz. Washington and regional mediators are discussing the possibility of holding high-level peace talks as soon as Thursday, but await a response from Tehran, Axios reported . Read More: US Sees ‘Possibility of Diplomacy’ With Iran as War Costs Rise Elevated energy prices resulting from the conflict have raised the risk of inflation, leading investors to bet on higher interest rates. That’s a headwind for non-yielding precious metals. Declines in global stocks and bonds have also forced investors to ditch their positions in gold to raise cash, further amplifying losses in bullion since the war began more than three weeks ago. Spot gold edged up 0.1% to $4,479.84 as of 6:24 a.m. Singapore time. Silver gained 0.2% to $71.39, after ending the previous session 3% higher. Platinum and palladium were flat, while the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index , a gauge of the greenback, rose 0.3% on Tuesday.

klmax/iStock via Getty Images Shares of TTM Technologies, Inc. ( TTMI ) have been on fire, as the market extrapolates the market trends for this electronics producer, being perfectly positioned to ride the data center wave, as well as the aerospace & defense wave. This has been more than reflected in the share price, as a somewhat modest $20 stock in the spring of 2025 rose to a high of $113 per share in recent weeks, now trading around the $100 mark, still resulting in incredible momentum. Moreover, an undercovered and undervalued stock this time last year has seen the reverse happening. This makes me not willing to consider shares here, as the situation has become near-term overextended, but I am certainly willing to provide updated coverage here. Other, higher-conviction ideas, including secular growth plays in data center and industrial segments, can be found at Value In Corporate Events . A Closer Look TTM Technologies provides mission systems, printed circuit boards, and specialty components, claiming to be a critical supplier to today's fastest-growing industries. With over 20 manufacturing facilities and 17,000 workers, mostly located in the United States and China, the company provides such solutions in key verticals. These include data center computing, networking, aerospace & defense, automotive, medical, industrial & instrumentation. The company has successfully combined organic growth and bolt-on M&A efforts to deliver strong growth and reposition the business. While the company reports activities across a wide range of verticals, it really is the aerospace & defense segment that made up about half of sales. This is largely complemented by a data center business, which makes up a fifth of sales, complemented by automotive, medical, industrial, and instrumentation. While all this looks great, the reality is that operating margins reveal that this is somewhat between a proprietary technology manufacturer and a contract supplier, with operating margins typ...

Midfielder could make debut against Uruguay or Japan Garner: ‘I knew I had to show everybody what I’m about’ James Garner always planned this to be a defining year in his career and is reaping the rewards after receiving a first England call-up, the Everton midfielder has said. The 25-year-old could make his international debut over the next week, having impressed Thomas Tuchel with his form. England face Uruguay on Friday and Japan on Tuesday, giving Garner two chances of an international debut, with this the final chance for players to impress before the World Cup squad is announced. He received the news in a phone call from Tuchel last week, keeping the news to himself for a day before informing his family. “I told myself at the start of the season that this season has to be the season that I can show everyone what I can do and I think so far I have done,” Garner said.
