At 10:00 AM on the 21st (local time), the Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded 51,794.75, up 112.11 points (0.22%) compared to the previous session on the New York Stock Exchange.

The conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Yemen Houthi rebels continued to intensify over the weekend, and tensions in the Middle East persist, but oil prices fell, which improved investor sentiment. The fact that US President Donald Trump expressed a willingness to meet with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian at the UN General Assembly in New York this week fueled expectations of a de-escalation of Middle East conflicts. President Trump is scheduled to speak at the UN General Assembly on the 22nd, and President Pezeshkian is scheduled to speak on the 23rd.

Looking by industry, technology and communications showed strength, while energy and utilities showed weakness. Bitcoin prices recovered the $80,000 level, and the strategies and Coinbase stocks rose by 7.98% and 5%, respectively. Stock prices of related US-listed companies also rose as news emerged that Denmark and the US reached an agreement on Greenland security after months of negotiations.
