Says

  • Iran's missile capabilities are down to 10% or maybe less.
  • Could hit Iran's electric production, but don't want to.
  • We're ahead of our initial timeline by a lot.
  • Thinks Iran should put in a head that will be peaceful.

What it means

Trump's comments suggest a significant advancement in military objectives concerning Iran, potentially reducing geopolitical tensions in the region. While this may offer short-term relief for risk-sensitive assets, the mention of leaving key targets unaddressed highlights ongoing uncertainty. Traders should note how this dynamic might influence currency correlations, particularly with the USD and JPY, as well as commodity prices like oil and gold.
