Iran deal haha what a joke ! :D

S&P 500 futures rose after the index hit another all-time high, buoyed by a rally in technology stocks. Europe’s Stoxx 600 hit a new record, as did MSCI’s All Country World Index.

Brent crude held around $80 a barrel after Tuesday’s plunge, as Axios reported that Washington, Tehran and Oman were nearing an agreement to resume oil flows through the Strait. Treasuries were steady and gold advanced as traders curbed expectations for interest-rate hikes.

Bloomberg once again refuses to ask the critical questions needed to be asked about this ridiculous bubble. Everyone and their dog knows what's coming in that industry, yet you remain irresponsible, not asking the pertinent, not pushing back. The only true journalists are independent ones.
