Late in the day, we're getting more comments from Trump on the situation in Lebanon, as he says "I think progress has been made" and that "I think things will happen over there."
The day started with positive comments from him on the deal and that started a big turnaround, that was also helped by a drop in oil prices.
Overall, it was another record close for the S&P 500 but the Nasdaq dipped slightly on a big drop in Broadcom shares. However that the index only declined slightly despite a crushing drop in one of the world's largest companies and a big AI beneficiary is inspiring for the bulls.
In FX, the dollar was relatively quiet but weaker in line with the more-peaceful talk from Trump. Bonds also pointed in that direction.
Overall, economic news was light today and the path of least-resistance was higher in risk assets. The strength in the stock markets was impressive as it's been for the past two months.
