                  US stocks rally and return to where they were before the US-Iran war

                  U.S. stocks rallied and recovered the last of their losses caused so far by the U.S.-Iran war, as hope remains on Wall Street that the global economy can still avoid a worst-case scenario. The S&P 500 rose 1% Monday and is back to where it was before the United States and Israel attacked Iran in late February, just 1.3% below its record set early this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.6%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 1.2%. Even in the oil market, where prices jumped above $100 per barrel after ceasefire talks failed to end the war, prices pared their gains as Monday progressed.
