Snippet:
Stocks are rushing higher worldwide, and oil prices are easing as hopes build that the war with Iran could end soon. That’s even though some of the signals investors saw as hopeful are already under dispute, and several prior bouts of optimism in financial markets quickly got undercut by continued, fierce fighting in the war.
