US President Trump appears to soften stance on Iran's missile programme, via WSJ
- President Trump said his focus was on preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon as he appeared to play down the chances of being able to impose strict caps on Tehran's missile program
Context
President Trump's softened stance on Iran's missile program suggests a shift in focus toward nuclear containment, which may ease tensions in the region. This could have implications for energy markets and safe-haven assets, as any de-escalation might stabilize oil prices and reduce demand for currencies like the USD and JPY that typically strengthen in geopolitical uncertainty. Traders should monitor how this plays into broader market sentiment and FX flows.
