MARKET PULSE ⚡️ When Iran said it's skipping US peace talks, markets panicked fast.



⛔ Reported damage:
- S&P 500 dropped and around *$420 billion* in market value was wiped out in one day
- Other reports from the same period put it at *$800 billion+* erased in hours:
- Dow: -293 points
- S&P 500: -0.6%
- Nasdaq: -0.6%

🟢 Iran told the US via Pakistani mediators it wouldn't attend talks scheduled in Pakistan. Iran called the "10-point ceasefire plan" weak and said talks were "pointless" because of the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. 0480

💥 Oil spiked too. Brent hit over $94 because ∼20% of global oil flows through that strait.

👉 Today - July 27, 2026:
Markets are actually up early.
*S&P 500*: 7,411.98 +0.05%
*Dow*: 51,947.25 +0.46%
*Oil*: WTI $84.21 -5.71%

Why❓ Both sides paused military attacks this morning and there are new ceasefire hopes that added *∼$550 billion* back to US stocks last week.

👉 *The bigger pattern in 2026:*
The US-Iran conflict has been super volatile.
- S&P fell ∼8% from Feb 28 to March 30
- Then recovered +11% to new all-time highs by April 16
- Full cycle took under 50 days 8d09

Markets are treating this as a "risk-on / risk-off" headline trade. Peace talk headlines = $500B+ added. Breakdown headlines = $400B-$800B wiped.

📤 Energy and defense stocks have been the big movers, while AI/tech mega-caps drove the recovery.
