The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI), which tracks the broader U.S. market, is modestly up 0.18% at market open on Monday as investors monitor geopolitical developments. Markets are focused on the Tuesday deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and reports of a possible ceasefire in the U.S.-Iran conflict. Axios said the U.S., Iran, and other parties are in talks for a 45-day ceasefire that could lead to a longer peace deal. But the odds of even a small deal before the deadline are low, keeping markets on edge. As a result, broad ETFs like VTI are moving only slightly as investors weigh both risk and hope for calm.
