Mary Long: Cruise stocks catch a wave. You're listening to Motley Fool Money. I'm Mary Long, joined today by Mr. Asit Sharma. Asit, great to see you. It is truly a pleasure to have you here today.
Asit Sharma: Same, Mary, I am truly honored to be with you today.
Mary Long: Here we go. Please honored all good vibes today. Before we dive into some deeper stories later on in the show, we're going to highlight some of today's headlines up top. So, Asit, we're going to start with some macro stories and then dive a bit deeper into some company specific news. First big thing that we're keeping an eye on is that the S&P and NASDAQ both closed at their highest points since February, leaving both indexes hovering around record highs, largely on the news of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. There are reports that fighting continues, but investors seem to be betting on peace. You got oil futures falling on the Ceasefire announcement. Gold moved in a similar direction, dropping to a two week low. You also have another part of the economy that's moving in a different direction. The housing market is falling from its pandemic highs. Data from the latest S&P index reports that home prices rose just 2.7% in April. That's down from their 3.4% gain in March. Redfin says sellers outnumber buyers 3-1 in this market and predicts that prices could slip 1% by late 2025. Asit, I think you want to double click on the housing market story. Anything you want to add there, give us a little bit of color.
