Trump extends Iran ceasefire on the first day: Hormuz docks 2 ships, oil prices near 100, U.S. stocks close lower

CNBC combines three reports: On April 22, after Trump extended the Iran ceasefire and maintained the blockade of Hormuz, the IRGC seized two cargo ships.

JPMorgan Chase Raises S&P 500 Year-End Target to 7,600, Citing AI Investment Surge and Easing Geopolitical Risks

Summary: JPMorgan lifts 2026 S&P 500 to 7,600, 2027 to 385 EPS, driven by AI enthusiasm and easing Middle East tensions; forward P/E stays 22x, potential to 23x and ~8,000 if tensions fall; warns of short-term consolidation amid oil and geopolitical risks. Abstract: JPMorgan’s strategy team, led by Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, raised the year-end S&P 500 forecast to 7,600 from 7,200, citing renewed AI enthusiasm and easing Middle East tensions. 2026 EPS is boosted to $330 and 2027 to $385, with the forward multiple held at 22x; a quicker geopolitical resolution could lift the multiple to 23x and push 2026 toward 8,000. The AI theme gained momentum after Anthropic unveiled Mythos, with about two-thirds of AI-related S&P 500 stocks outperforming. Risks include higher oil prices and lingering geopolitical tensions, suggesting a potential short-term consolidation before further gains.
