In a recent press statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country had resolved not to strike Iran's energy infrastructure and expressed confidence that the current military campaign would come to an end soon, arguing that Iran's uranium-enrichment program had been paralyzed and ballistic-missile production curtailed. In his view, the balance of power in the region has changed, bringing the active phase of the conflict closer to a close.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump told reporters that he firmly ruled out deploying American ground troops to the conflict zone, stressing his administration has no plans for land-force deployments and remains committed to avoiding full-scale military operations. That statement was taken as an important de-escalation signal, reducing the odds of a wider conflict involving US forces.

As for the S&P 500 technical analysis, buyers' immediate task is to overcome the resistance level of $6,616. This would help the index gain renewed upside momentum and could open the way to $6,627. Holding $6,638 would further strengthen the bullish case. On the downside, buyers must defend around $6,603. A break below that level would quickly bring the trading instrument back down to $6,590 and could open the path to $6,577.
