US President Trump says it's going to be ended soon, and if it starts up again, Iran will be hit harder, while Trump responded 'no, but soon', when asked if the war will be done this week

Says
- Big risk on Iran has been over for three days.
- We can leave it here but we are going to go further.
What it means
President Trump's comments suggest a potentially escalatory stance regarding Iran, which could unsettle markets. If tensions reignite, expect safe havens like gold and defensive assets to gain traction, while the energy market, particularly crude oil, may also react sharply due to supply concerns. Keep an eye on how this plays into broader market sentiment, especially with USD and equities.
