The primary narrative driving today&#39;s rally was a combination of geopolitical de-escalation and robust economic data. Investors reacted favorably to a <strong>conditional ceasefire<\/strong> between Israel and Lebanon, which significantly lowered the geopolitical risk premium. Additionally, the <strong>Institute for Supply Management (ISM)<\/strong> reported that the <strong>Services PMI<\/strong> rose to <strong>54.5<\/strong> in May, beating the anticipated <strong>53.6<\/strong>. This three-month high in service sector activity signaled strong business momentum and new orders, reinforcing confidence in the U.S. economy&#39;s resilience despite persistent inflationary pressures and high borrowing costs.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the gainers, <strong>3M<\/strong> (<a href=\"\/stock\/MMM\">MMM<\/a>) surged <strong>3.70%<\/strong> to <strong>$148.62<\/strong> following a series of analyst upgrades and a positive outlook for margin expansion.
