Markets surged this week on optimism for a quicker end to the US–Iran war pushing stocks over 3% higher. However, oil prices continued to rise, signaling ongoing supply risks and potential inflation pressure.

📊 Market Update (4/3/26):
Stocks rallied on hopes of a quick end to the war, but oil continue to rise... Markets surge to finish the week up over 3%. Let’s quickly recap.

Monday opened lower as the ongoing US–Iran war weighed on sentiment with no clear end in sight. But that quickly shifted. Tuesday surged on reports the White House was looking for an exit; targeting a four to six week timeline. That optimism accelerated afterhours with the White House signaling a faster two to three week window. That powered another rally on Wednesday. It was reiterated in the White House’s address Wednesday night.However, it was also noted the US would be striking Iran really hard during that period. Futures initially dropped and markets opened lower, but fully recovered by end of the day Thursday. Finally, Friday. Markets were closed for Good Friday, but we got a strong jobs report. Payrolls rose 178 thousand while unemployment fell to 4.3%.

So, what now? Markets have clearly regained its optimism, but oil remains weak. Crude oil rose about 12% this week despite the war ending optimism. Potentially even if the war ends quickly, oil may not fall as fast and that could keep inflation pressure elevated. Looking ahead to next week, inflation takes the stage. We’ll get the Fed favorite February PCE on Thursday and the consumer-focused March CPI on Friday. The March CPI will be the first look at how surging oil may be impacting inflation.
