Full post: "For those people that still read The Failing New York Times and, despite the fact that Iran has been totally OBLITERATED, Militarily, and otherwise, you would think that Iran is actually winning or, at the very least, doing quite well — But that’s not true, and The New York Times knows that it’s FAKE NEWS! When does this Corrupt Media Outlet apologize for their LIES and horrible actions against me, my supporters, and our Country itself! HAVE THEY NO SHAME? HAVE THEY NO SENSE OF DECENCY? President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Context

President Trump's comments on Iran and criticism of the media may escalate geopolitical tensions, particularly in relation to U.S.-Iran dynamics. This could impact market sentiment across various asset classes, notably oil prices, as any perceived escalation could signal supply risks and influence risk appetite in Forex and equities. Traders should closely monitor reactions in oil markets and safe-haven assets like gold, as these often respond to geopolitical developments.
