--- title: "Click here to read our #globalmarkets weekly wrap up" description: Major U.S. stock indexes rose during the holiday-shortened week, with several benchmarks closing at record highs, as investor sentiment was supported by rising hopes for a U.S.-Iran peace agreement, falling oil prices, and continued momentum in artificial intelligence-linked stocks. The Nasdaq Composite led among the major benchmarks, buoyed in part by AI optimism, while the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500 Indexes also posted solid gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged but still rose 0.9%. Early reports that the U.S. and Iran were moving toward a 60-day ceasefire extension and a reopening of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz helped push oil prices lower and supported risk appetite through much of the week. image: https://blog.syzgroup.com/hubfs/global_markets_weekly_wrap-up3-Sep-27-2022-01-12-47-57-PM.jpg --- [![Syz Private banking](https://blog.syzgroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo.png?width=140&name=Logo.png "Syz Private banking")](https://www.syzgroup.com/fr) ## **Thinking** out loud [Subscribe](https://25733253.hs-sites-eu1.com/newsletter-signup?hsLang=en) [![Contact Us](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/25733253/3d762f49-4e71-4f99-97b1-bf6781ef3da2.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/25733253/3d762f49-4e71-4f99-97b1-bf6781ef3da2) - [OUR SERVICES](https://www.syzgroup.com/en/private-banking) - [ABOUT SYZ](https://www.syzgroup.com/en/about/welcome-to-syz) - [CAREERS](https://www.syzgroup.com/en/careers) - [PRESS](https://www.syzgroup.com/en/news) - [Blog Homepage](https://blog.syzgroup.com) - [Slow Food for Thought](https://blog.syzgroup.com/slow-food-for-thought) - [Focus](https://blog.syzgroup.com/slow-food-for-thoughts/tag/focus) - [Asset allocations Insights](https://blog.syzgroup.com/slow-food-for-thoughts/tag/asset-allocation-insights) - [Market Outlook](https://blog.syzgroup.com/slow-food-for-thoughts/tag/market-outlook) - [Swiss Perspectives](https://blog.syzgroup.com/slow-food-for-thoughts/tag/swiss-perspectives) - [Syz the moment](https://blog.syzgroup.com/syz-the-moment) - [Crypto corner](https://blog.syzgroup.com/crypto-corner) - [Syz AI Insights](https://blog.syzgroup.com/syz-ai-insights) - [Fast Food for Thought](https://blog.syzgroup.com/fast-food-for-thought) - [The week in seven charts](https://blog.syzgroup.com/fast-food-for-thoughts/tag/the-week-in-seven-charts) - [Flash](https://blog.syzgroup.com/fast-food-for-thoughts/tag/flash) - [Fixed Income Weekly](https://blog.syzgroup.com/fast-food-for-thought/tag/weekly-fixed-income) - [Equity Weekly](https://blog.syzgroup.com/fast-food-for-thought/tag/weekly-equities) - [Global markets outlook](https://blog.syzgroup.com/fast-food-for-thoughts/tag/global-markets-outlook) - [CONTACT](https://www.syzgroup.com/en/contact-us/form) - [ENGLISH](https://www.syzgroup.com/) - [FRANÇAIS](https://www.syzgroup.com/fr) - [Slow Food for Thought](https://blog.syzgroup.com/slow-food-for-thought) - [Focus](https://blog.syzgroup.com/slow-food-for-thoughts/tag/focus) - [Asset allocations Insights](https://blog.syzgroup.com/slow-food-for-thoughts/tag/asset-allocation-insights) - [Market Outlook](https://blog.syzgroup.com/slow-food-for-thoughts/tag/market-outlook) - [Swiss Perspectives](https://blog.syzgroup.com/slow-food-for-thoughts/tag/swiss-perspectives) - [Fast Food for Thought](https://blog.syzgroup.com/fast-food-for-thought) - [Flash](https://blog.syzgroup.com/fast-food-for-thoughts/tag/flash) - [Weekly Fixed Income](https://blog.syzgroup.com/fast-food-for-thought/tag/weekly-fixed-income) - [The week in seven charts](https://blog.syzgroup.com/slow-food-for-thoughts/tag/the-week-in-seven-charts) - [Global markets outlook](https://blog.syzgroup.com/fast-food-for-thoughts/tag/global-markets-outlook) - [Weekly Equities](https://blog.syzgroup.com/fast-food-for-thought/tag/weekly-equities) - [Syz the moment](https://blog.syzgroup.com/syz-the-moment) - [Crypto corner](https://blog.syzgroup.com/crypto-corner) - [Syz AI Insights](https://blog.syzgroup.com/syz-ai-insights) - [Our Services](https://www.syzgroup.com/en/private-banking) - [About Syz](https://www.syzgroup.com/en/about/welcome-to-syz) - [Careers](https://www.syzgroup.com/en/careers) - [Press](https://www.syzgroup.com/en/news) - [Contact](https://www.syzgroup.com/en/contact-us/form) - [English](https://www.syzgroup.com/) - [Français](https://www.syzgroup.com/fr) ## **Sign-up** for our newsletter This website uses cookies to enhance user navigation and to collect statistical data.

The Nasdaq Composite led among the major benchmarks, buoyed in part by AI optimism, while the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500 Indexes also posted solid gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged but still rose 0.9%. Early reports that the U.S. and Iran were moving toward a 60-day ceasefire extension and a reopening of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz helped push oil prices lower and supported risk appetite through much of the week. The narrative was complicated by reports of fresh U.S. strikes on Iranian targets, but investor sentiment remained positive through the end of the week amid reports suggesting that a deal was largely done and waiting on final approval. On the macro side, US GDP growth was revised down while durable goods orders surge. U.S. Treasuries generated positive returns as yields decreased across most maturities, partially in response to declining oil prices and reported progress in the U.S.-Iran negotiations. The pan-European STOXX Europe 600 Index advanced 0.14% Japan's equity markets surged to historic highs during the week, with the Nikkei 225 Index rising 4.72% and the broader TOPIX Index gaining 1.66%.   Have a great weekend Best regards Charles & Syz Research Lab           #### Disclaimer This marketing document has been issued by Bank Syz Ltd.
