Tom Lee: The stock market has already digested 90% of the sell-off pressure; the initial stage of the U.S.-Iran conflict was already at the bottom

Tom Lee said in an interview on CNBC that the stock market has absorbed 90% to 95% of the selling pressure and may be in the process of rebuilding a base.
