TL;DR Summary

Jim Cramer says oil’s tame moves amid the Iran war hint the Strait of Hormuz may reopen without a long disruption to crude, a view that helped lift U.S. stocks as inflation risk from oil prices looks contained. Brent and WTI showed modest gains after volatile sessions, while major indices rose (Dow +0.5%, S&P +0.8%, Nasdaq +1.3%). Tech names like Amazon and Nvidia climbed, and CrowdStrike’s 4% gain reflected a shift away from fears of AI-driven software disruption, suggesting investors are rotating toward high-quality stocks as the war potentially winds down.
