Baron First Principles ETF is trading 3% higher in pre-market action following news of a tentative U.S.–Iran peace agreement and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
- The geopolitical breakthrough has triggered a broad risk-on rally, significantly lowering oil prices and easing global inflation concerns.
- Growth-oriented and rate-sensitive assets are leading the market higher as lower energy costs provide a tailwind for large-cap equities.
- The move in the ETF is largely in line with a strong upward trend across major U.S. equity indices and futures.
