Trump says Iran war ends immediately after US midterms
Trump also said he is open to negotiations over Iran and hinted at a possible US-Russia bilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin.
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the Iran war would end immediately after the US midterm elections, adding that he believes Iranians are trying to influence the election. He spoke with reporters before departing for the Republican National Convention in Dallas, according to FXStreet.
Trump also said he had a “great conversation” with Russian President Vladimir Putin and suggested a bilateral meeting could take place. On Iran, he said negotiations could take place, while noting his broader expectations around timing tied to the midterms.
FXStreet also included an overview of how currency markets can react to shifting risk sentiment. It described “risk-on” periods as typically supportive of stock markets and many commodities, while “risk-off” periods tend to lift safe-haven currencies such as the Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and US dollar, along with bonds and gold.
