US President Trump on war in Ukraine, says Ukraine President Zelensky is going to have to get moving; Russia wants to get a deal.
What it means
President Trump's comments suggest a potential shift in the dynamics of the Ukraine conflict, signaling that concessions may be on the table. If Russia is indeed seeking a deal, this could lead to de-escalation, impacting risk assets positively, especially in Europe, while also influencing energy prices amid ongoing supply concerns. Traders should watch for immediate market reactions, particularly in equities and commodities, as geopolitical tensions ease or escalate accordingly.
