investingLive Americas FX news wrap 24 Apr

Markets moved to a risk-on posture as diplomatic momentum around possible U.S.–Iran talks supported a rally in equities and pressured the U.S. dollar. The S&P 500 closed at an all-time high, rising 0.80%, while the NASDAQ (US Tech 100) jumped 1.63% with mega-cap tech — Nvidia, Alphabet and Amazon — at record levels and Intel surging over 23%. Yields edged lower (2‑yr 3.784%, 10‑yr 4.305%) but remain slightly higher on the week. FX saw commodity- and growth-sensitive currencies outperform (NZD, GBP ~+0.5%; EUR +0.32%; AUD +0.34%). Oil showed mixed signals (WTI down near $95–$90; Brent up to $106.20). Near-term risks include big-tech earnings next week and the Fed meeting, which could reintroduce volatility.
