Tonight, the world is confused! Market traders are jumping back and forth over whether Trump and Iran have actually held negotiations!

Let’s first clarify the timeline.

First, Trump posted on the social media platform “Real Social” that “the US and Iran have had very good and productive talks over the past two days,” and the discussions will continue until the weekend.

Trump said he has instructed a five-day pause on all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure, provided that ongoing meetings and discussions are successful.

Subsequently, Iranian media on the 23rd quoted sources saying that Iran has had no direct or indirect contact with US President Trump.

According to Iran’s Mehr News Agency, the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that Trump’s remarks aim to lower energy prices and buy time for his military plans. Although there are initiatives to de-escalate tensions, our response is that the US should be the dialogue partner (all parties calling for easing tensions should address the US), because we did not initiate the war.

Next, Trump responded to Iran’s “slap in the face” comments. According to Fox Business, in response to Iran media denying US-Iran talks, Trump said the latest round of negotiations actually took place last night.

He stated that the talks involved Steve Wittekoff, Jared Kushner, and their counterparts, and indicated that an agreement with Iran could be reached within five days or even sooner.

Trump said he is not sure what Iran media is talking about.

Additionally, a US source said that over the past two days, Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan have been passing messages between the US and Iran.

Global markets slightly retreated after Iran’s “slap in the face” response, but as of press time, following Trump’s response to Iran, the market overall maintained an upward trend!

Crude oil market fell nearly 10%.
