Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The stock market continues to build on today's strong start with the major averages hovering at their session highs. 

Axios reports that the U.S. is set to meet with Iran next week in Oslo to resume nuclear talks. This report follows an earlier report this morning from NBC News that Iran is not planning further retaliatory strikes against the U.S., but will continue to enrich uranium.

Geopolitical news headlines have had little effect on the stock market since its positive reaction to a U.S. brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran was announced on June 24.

Since that point, positive earnings reports, better than expected economic data, and broad-based participation from mega-cap and smaller stocks alike have the stock market off to a strong start in Q3.
