Speaking on the Pod Force One podcast on Monday, 2, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, signaled that the conflict with Iran could gain new chapters, even with negotiations underway. According to InfoMoney, he said that the US has not “finished the job” in the war, because Tehran wants to continue negotiating an agreement.
The statement combines a willingness to dialogue with an implicit threat. Trump said Iran wants to make a deal, but he doesn't know if it will work. He also said that the US may eventually “take further action” in the Middle East conflict, and that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.
In the same block of statements, Trump stated that the US overthrew two Iranian regimes. This is the president's statement, and the InfoMoney article does not provide additional elements to detail it.
The energy side is what interests investors most. According to the report, the Strait of Hormuz is closed. At the same time, Trump stated that oil stocks are above pre-war levels, a figure that weighs on the reading of supply and demand for the commodity.
Trump also tried to give a different interpretation to the moment. According to InfoMoney, he defended the rise of stock markets and the success of the US economy, and minimized election polls, a theme present in the original headline.
What changes for the investor
For those who follow Nasdaq, interest rates and the dollar, the message has two sides. On the one hand, the possibility of an agreement and the information that oil stocks are above pre-war levels are signs that the energy market tends to observe. On the other hand, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the possibility of new military measures keep uncertainty high. The article does not contain quotes or projections, so the effect on the stock market, interest rates and exchange rate depends on how the negotiations evolve and how oil reacts. It is worth monitoring these developments before drawing conclusions.
