Hopes for a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran are pushing the broader stock market higher. South Korean tech stocks already surged 8% overnight on the news.

## Idea

Investors are increasingly optimistic that a peace deal will be signed within days, which takes a major geopolitical risk off the table. When global tensions ease, money flows back into riskier but high-reward investments like semiconductors and tech. Because these companies rely on smooth global trade, peace in the Middle East is especially good for their business, setting them up for a potential rally as we head into the weekend.
