Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated that the U.S. is negotiating with Iran regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which contributed to a decline in oil prices, with West Texas Intermediate crude falling to approximately $76 a barrel.

Boeing's shares were poised for their highest close since May 13, supported by falling oil prices, a double-upgrade from BNP Paribas, and the Federal Aviation Administration's certification of the 737 Max 7. Cramer expressed confidence in Boeing's recovery under CEO Kelly Ortberg.
Meanwhile, Microsoft was on track for a fifth consecutive day of gains, while Amazon's stock dipped 2.5% after founder Jeff Bezos announced plans to sell about $4 billion in shares.
