Global stocks reversed gains as a US-Iran ceasefire unraveled after Tehran accused Washington of violating three key clauses, reigniting geopolitical tensions and market volatility. Asian equities dropped 0.9% following Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf’s statement, erasing a four-day rally amid renewed uncertainty over Middle East stability. US and European stock futures fell 0.2%, signaling an end to recent market optimism as investors reassessed risks tied to the faltering diplomatic agreement. Crude oil prices rebounded sharply, reflecting fears of supply disruptions amid escalating tensions, further pressuring equities and complicating economic recovery prospects. The market downturn underscores how fragile investor confidence remains, with geopolitical flashpoints—like the Beirut airstrike aftermath—quickly overshadowing short-term relief rallies.
