Recently, following major geopolitical moves by the United States, global capital markets reacted strongly. The energy sector emerged as the biggest winner, with the four major US stock indices rising simultaneously. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged by 594.79 points (up 1.23%), reaching a new all-time high of 48,977.18 points.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index increased by 43.58 points to 6,902.05 points, and the Nasdaq Composite rose by 160.19 points to 23,395.82 points. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also performed strongly, climbing 78.98 points to 7,446.45 points.
Energy stocks performed the best. A major oil company saw its stock price soar by 5.1%, becoming the biggest beneficiary due to its business presence in relevant regions. Another oil giant's stock also rose by 2.2%. The oilfield services sector also saw gains, with several related companies' stock prices rising.
Interestingly, despite the booming stock market, traders increased their allocations to safe-haven assets. Gold futures contracts rose by 2.8%, marking the best single-day performance since October 20. At the same time, Bitcoin directly broke through $94,000, indicating a dual demand from investors for both risk assets and safe-haven assets.
The defense sector also benefited from the trend. Defense contractors' stock prices rose modestly, with gains ranging from 2.9% to 3.5%, reflecting the market's digestion of the potential long-term impacts of geopolitical tensions.
