Bonds rallied, and there was increased interest in bitcoin and bullion, while the dollar weakened as rate-hike expectations decreased. However, as the initial excitement faded, markets struggled to maintain these gains, with yields rising and stocks retreating from their highs, indicating uncertainty about the ceasefire's impact."
