US stocks are pushing higher with the SPX trading at 7269.41, up 1.83 percent on the session as traders digest fresh policy signals from the Trump administration. The VIX is at 17.25, down 3.9 percent, reflecting reduced near term fear. In Washington, President Trump said he can't stand some Senate Republicans for refusing to terminate the filibuster, a move he sees as critical to advancing his agenda. On the geopolitical front, the White House launched Project Freedom to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and guide ships stalled by the Iran conflict, though experts remain skeptical about its impact on oil flows.
