S&P and Nasdaq Punch Records on Ceasefire Relief and Earnings Fire

Man, just watched the tape close out with S&P and Nasdaq smashing through records like it's 2021 all over again. Up 1.05% to 7,137.90 on the S&P and a solid 1.64% pop to 24,657.57 for the Nasdaq—feels like that Trump Iran ceasefire extension announcement lit a fire under risk assets, easing the geopolitical jitters that had everyone on edge last week.

Dow's not slacking either, grinding higher 0.69% to 49,490.03, thanks to Boeing and GE Vernova catching bids amid this AI-energy crossover hype. But the real juice? Q1 earnings coming in hot at 14% growth so far—companies are delivering, and it's got the breadth improving with tech and industrials leading the charge. Feels like the market's exhaling after holding its breath on those Middle East headlines.

Traders in the room are buzzing with that relief-rally energy, but don't get too comfy. Oil's hovering near $100/bbl, whispering inflation risks that could crimp the Fed's dovish dreams if tensions don't fully cool. Second-order play here: if this ceasefire holds, we might see more rotation into cyclicals, but a spike in energy costs could flip the script and squeeze margins in unexpected spots.

What's your take— is this the start of a proper melt-up, or just a bounce before the next shoe drops? Watching VIX for any cracks tomorrow.
