Stocks rise on AI optimism; lower oil helps bonds

Global equity markets are rising, with the Nasdaq reaching a record high on September 21. Tech stocks are leading gains in Asia and the U.S. as investors react to an AI rally and falling oil prices. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq are positioned for growth following a U.S. statement that shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have reached a six-month high. This drop in energy costs has simultaneously lowered bond yields, providing broader support for international shares.
