Trump Postpones Iran Strikes to Pursue Diplomatic Deal

U.S. President Donald Trump has signaled a significant shift toward diplomacy, stating his firm intention to reach a deal with Iran. In a move to facilitate negotiations, Trump ordered the military to postpone planned strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days. This decision follows 12 days of heightened geopolitical tensions and aims to provide a critical window for potential de-escalation. Market analysts expect the move to reduce the immediate risk premium, which is likely to weigh on Crude Oil and Gold (XAU/USD) prices in the short term. Conversely, equity markets such as the SPY may see a boost as geopolitical uncertainty fades, while the USD/JPY pair remains sensitive to shifting risk sentiment.
