NASDAQ Composite leads gaining 1.68 to 26 458.87. The Dow Jones also climbs 0.34 to 51 668.13. However crypto markets show extreme fear. Our Fear Greed Index sits at 15. Bitcoin is down 5.16 to 62 618. Ethereum drops 5.77 to 1 682. But we have some standout gainers. LAB is soaring up 29.8 at 16.90. Provenance Blockchain HASH jumps 22.4 to 0.0105. BinanceLife also sees a 4.8 rise to 0.7080. These defy the broader crypto downtrend. Big news driving markets The US and Iran announced a peace deal! This is pushing oil prices lower.
