Possibly influenced by the "U.S. and Iran considering extending the ceasefire agreement," the Nasdaq's gains expanded to 1%.

Mars Finance News, on April 15, according to market data, possibly influenced by “the U.S. and Iran considering a two-week extension of the ceasefire agreement,” the Nasdaq’s gain widened to 1%, the S&P rose 0.4%, and the Dow fell by more than 0.3%.

According to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, amid the outbreak of unrest, the U.S. and Iran are considering extending the ceasefire agreement, which is set to expire next Tuesday, by two weeks in order to gain more time to advance negotiations on a peace agreement.

Mediators are trying to arrange technical talks to address the most contentious issues. This includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s uranium enrichment. If successful, these talks could pave the way for the next round of negotiations involving senior officials from both countries.

However, other U.S. officials familiar with the situation said it is still not possible to guarantee that the ceasefire will be extended, and the U.S. side has not yet agreed to the relevant arrangements.

Other people familiar with the matter also said that both the U.S. and Iran do not want to restart the conflict.
