[BRIEFING.COM] The three major indices trade off their best levels of the day and the Russell 2000 sports a 1.8% gain.
Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire and hostage release deal, according to CNBC. Stocks, bonds, and commodities are little changed by the news. The equal-weighted S&P 500 trades 0.9% higher; the 10-yr yield is down 12 basis points to 4.66%; and WTI crude oil futures are 2.3% higher at $78.13/bbl.
The CBOE Volatility Index is lower, down 1.81 points to 16.90, but the move followed this morning's data rather than the geopolitical news.
