I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! PRESIDENT >DONALD J. TRUMP
So, depending on which “news” article / topic-thread they read,
people should be lining-up on opposite sides of a trade…
BTW, i found it mildly amusing...
…that the post from truthsocial reads as comparatively less cliched and more natural AFTER being converted to Linkedin-speak (which itself is full of cliches/fluff).
Big news! I’m thrilled to share that the United States and Iran have spent the last 48 hours engaged in incredibly productive, high-level dialogue focused on a total resolution of Middle East hostilities.
Based on the constructive tone and deep-dive nature of these ongoing discussions, I’ve made the strategic decision to instruct the Department of War to pause all planned operations against Iranian energy infrastructure for the next five days. We are leaning into this momentum as meetings continue throughout the week.
Grateful for the progress and looking forward to what’s next!
Could someone explain what I’m missing here? Trump’s Truth Social post where he reports negotations with Iran and a ceasefire (of sorts) unsurprisingly is linked with a big jump in the price of S&P futures - but the jump seems to have happened 20 minutes before he made the post
Markets go up today due to his comments. Then, more war occurs this week, and markets go down, while oil goes up. Then on the weekend, Trump will say the war is over, and we will do this all over again next week.
He’ll wait until the market closes Friday and then do some other dumb shit.
The obvious answer is insider trading. Trump tells his millionaire and billionaire friends to invest, then he manipulates the market
