Steady gains continue amid expectations of a ceasefire.

[Emerging Market Stock Strategy] The emerging market is expected to remain firm today. On the 14th in the U.S. stock market, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 317.74 points (+0.66%) to close at 48,535.99, extending its gains. Support for stock prices came from strong quarterly earnings reports from banks, the Producer Price Index (PPI) not accelerating as much as feared, and falling interest rates. Additionally, hints from President Trump that he may renegotiate with Iran within two days led to a drop in crude oil prices, further boosting stock prices towards the end of the session.
