  • 4-9-26 US–Iran Deal: What Investors Must Watch Next
    Apr 9 2026
    Markets are reacting fast to signs of a potential resolution between the U.S. and Iran—but what should investors actually focus on next? A ceasefire or diplomatic breakthrough can spark a powerful short-term rally, driven by falling oil prices, easing geopolitical risk, and improved sentiment. But history shows these moves are often just the beginning—not the end—of the real story. Jon Penn & Michael Lebowitz break down the key signals investors need to watch as the situation evolves.

  • 4-9-26 Oil vs Markets: The Ceasefire Test | Before the Bell
    Apr 9 2026
    Markets are showing early signs of stabilization following a ceasefire announcement, but one key variable continues to dominate: oil prices. Before the news, oil and risk assets were moving in near-perfect opposition, signaling heightened geopolitical sensitivity. Now, markets are attempting to hold above the 200-day moving average—a critical technical level that could define the next trend. The big question: will the ceasefire hold, and will oil confirm the market's optimism? With earnings season approaching, potential buybacks ahead, and improving seasonality, the backdrop is turning more constructive—but fragile. If markets maintain support above the 200-DMA, upside participation increases. If not, risk management becomes key. For now, oil remains the signal to watch—and the durability of peace talks may determine everything that follows.
