Oil plunges, stocks jump on US-Iran peace deal
Oil prices dropped to $80 a barrel and stocks rose as the US and Iran reached a framework deal to end the Middle East war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The strait, normally handling 20% of the world's crude oil supply, was closed by Tehran after US and Israeli strikes in late February, causing energy prices to rise.
