Breaking news- Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, reportedly reiterated that the Middle Eastern country is ready to end the war but would need guarantees.
The statement comes a day after President Donald Trump said he was prepared to wind down the military campaign against the country within weeks.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump told aides he is willing to end hostilities on a four-to-six-week timeline, prioritizing the degradation of Iran’s navy and missile stocks over the more complex mission of reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
The Iran conflict started at the end of February, when the U.S. and Israel hit the country and also killed the then Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei.
Iran had then launched retaliatory strikes on different regions in the Middle East, including Qatar and the UAE.
SP500- just added on 2.5% rally as the news broke
The post states the S&P 500 rallied 2.5% on the news of potential Iran conflict de-escalation. Geopolitical risk reduction is a classic positive catalyst for broad equity markets, lowering the risk premium. A trade betting on continued positive momentum from a potential peace narrative. The news may be misreported, outdated, or lack credibility; governments may reverse stance; the conflict may escalate again.
