Iran Truce Rally Leaves Stocks Overbought and Vulnerable to Geopolitical Risk

Investors may see limited further gains in the equity markets as stocks have entered overbought conditions. This rally was triggered by Donald Trump's announcement of a two-week pause in strikes on Iran, which eased geopolitical tensions that had weighed on equities since early March. The S&P 500 rose 3.6% for the week, the Nasdaq Composite gained 4.7%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 3%. Jim Cramer noted the market rebounded after being oversold, but warned that current optimism is misplaced given the fragile nature of the ceasefire. Overbought conditions and overconfidence may limit further gains.
