US markets moved higher on Tuesday as easing geopolitical tensions lifted investor sentiment, with the S&P 500 rising 0.3% and the Nasdaq Composite gaining 0.7%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average remained nearly flat.

Optimism grew after President Donald Trump signaled openness to further talks with Iran, raising hopes that the recent truce could be extended into a longer-term agreement.

Cooling inflation pressures also supported markets, as US producer prices increased by just 0.5% in March, below expectations. Meanwhile, oil prices declined amid improving sentiment, with West Texas Intermediate falling near $95 per barrel and Brent Crude slipping to around $97.

On the corporate front, major banks delivered strong earnings, led by JPMorgan Chase reporting a 13% profit increase, alongside upbeat results from BlackRock, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup, reinforcing confidence in the financial sector.

The Tech Breakthrough Attracting Investors Like General Motors

Evaporation ponds take 18 months for 100k+ gallons of brine to turn into lithium.

With Morgan Stanley expecting an 80k-ton lithium shortage in 2026, who has that time?

It's why General Motors is backing EnergyX. Their tech can recover 3X more lithium than usual methods and works 500X faster than evaporation ponds.

With AI, EVs, and more spiking lithium demand 5X by 2040, that's perfect timing.

Invest in EnergyX at $12/share through 4/16, before they unlock up to 9.8M tons of lithium in Chile.
