DBI Today: 49.1 (+3.7)
After a rough three-day slide into the mid-40s, the Daily Business Index clawed back almost all of its recent losses — without quite reclaiming the neutral 50 line. Oil prices collapsed more than 5% as President Trump told reporters the US was in the "final stages" of negotiations with Iran, the kind of language traders had been waiting weeks to hear. That single sentence rippled through everything: petrol futures, government bond yields, equity markets in Europe and on Wall Street, even the corner of the retail world where Target just broke a year-long losing streak. The day didn't feel like a celebration. It felt like air finally being let out of a pressure cooker — though the cooker is still on the stove.
