US/Iran ceasefire reportedly is scheduled to end at 16:50EDT on Wednesday, according to NY Post citing three Pakistani sources; But the White House did not respond to multiple requests for confirmation - POST SINCE UPDATED ON X, UPDATES EXACT TIME
The reported end of the US/Iran ceasefire, as sourced from Pakistani officials and coupled with Trump's prior statements, introduces significant uncertainty in geopolitical stability.
Chances that US and Iran will bridge their differences and reach an agreement, or even a framework agreement, are very low to nonexistent, a senior Israeli diplomatic source told Al-Monitor.

- JOURNALIST UPDATED POST: Three Pakistani sources told me the ceasefire is scheduled to end at one time, but the White House did not respond to multiple requests for confirmation — and President Trump told Bloomberg News on Monday that the ceasefire expires on “Wednesday evening, Washington time.”
- UPDATED POST AGAIN: "Pakistani officials say the ceasefire is scheduled to end at 4:50 a.m. Pakistan time on Wednesday (7:50 p.m. ET Tuesday), but the White House did not respond to multiple requests for confirmation — and President Trump told Bloomberg News on Monday that the ceasefire expires on “Wednesday evening, Washington time.”"
If confirmed, this could lead to heightened tensions and market volatility, particularly impacting commodities like oil, as well as currency pairs sensitive to risk appetite.
Given the lack of official confirmation from the White House, market reactions might be cautious, but any escalation could lead to a stronger response in energy markets and safe-haven currencies like the USD and JPY.
