LONDON, June 2 (Reuters) - Global stocks rallied on Tuesday, buoyed by fresh AI optimism after Anthropic moved towards a U.S. stock market listing, while oil prices and bond yields fell on renewed hopes of a U.S.-Iran deal.
Brent crude futures dropped more than 1% below $94 a barrel, paring the previous session's sharp gains, after U.S. President Donald Trump said talks with Iran continued.
His comments came despite a report that Tehran had suspended indirect negotiations with Washington to end hostilities, keeping investors cautious about efforts to end the three-month war and underlining the fragility of an ongoing ceasefire.
Europe's STOXX 600 was up 0.7% by midday, as a strong forecast from chipmaker STMicroelectronics lifted technology stocks.
