In Israel, at least 28 people have been killed in Iranian strikes.Read less<h2>Oil slides, stocks rise as Iran-Israel ceasefire holds</h2>Oil prices sank for a second straight day and stock markets mostly rose as a ceasefire between Iran and Israel appeared to be holding firm for a second day.Crude futures slumped in volatile trading after US President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire, extending earlier steep losses in oil after Iran’s response to the US attack on its nuclear programme did not hit energy infrastructure in the region.Wall Street stocks spent the entire session in positive territory following the improved dynamics in the Middle East due to the ceasefire.With the “de-escalation, the market seems to be doing better,” Art Hogan, chief market strategist of B.
