Sign InIn a move reflecting the immediate impact of shifting geopolitical risks on investor sentiment, financial markets experienced a significant relief rally. According to reports, Dow Jones futures surged by 410 points following President Trump's decision to delay a planned military strike on Iran. This development led to a sharp decline in oil prices, easing immediate global inflation concerns, even as Iran denied that any direct negotiations with Washington were currently underway.
The de-escalation in geopolitical tensions boosted risk appetite across equity markets, as the reduction in energy risk premiums supported growth and technology sectors. Per market data, Palantir (PLTR) stood at $123.06 (at close July 31, 2026), having reached a day high of $123.39. This performance comes as investors weigh the impact of lower energy costs on corporate margins and broader inflationary pressures.
Traders should watch for technical support for PLTR near the $119.62 level, which was the day low on July 31, 2026. Looking at the economic calendar, the market remains influenced by the OPEC meeting held on July 28 and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on July 29, which maintained rates at 3.75%, both of which serve as critical benchmarks for energy demand and market liquidity.
