- The situation with Iran is "in flux" because he sent a "big armada" to the region, but Trump thinks Tehran genuinely wants to cut a deal.
- Sources with knowledge of the situation say Trump hasn't made a final decision. He will likely hold more consultations this week and be presented with additional military options.
- At the same time, he said diplomacy remained an option. "They want to make a deal. I know so. They called on numerous occasions. They want to talk."
The market may react with heightened volatility, especially in energy and commodity sectors like oil, due to the dual nature of imminent military options and diplomatic overtures. Traders should keep an eye on how this develops, as shifts in sentiment could impact the USD and overall risk appetite.
