Mars Finance News, on April 2nd, Pepperstone Group research strategist Dilin Wu said that Trump's speech was indeed disappointing. While declaring victory, Trump also threatened to strike Iran's energy and electricity facilities and indicated the possibility of launching significant attacks within the next two or three weeks—essentially meaning "business as usual." Previously, remarks about withdrawing troops from the Middle East now seem more like an attempt to soothe the market while keeping pressure options open. Clearly, he still favors a "pressure first" strategy rather than a complete de-escalation. (Jin10)

Mars Finance news, on April 2, Pepperstone Group research strategist Dilin Wu said that Trump’s remarks are indeed disappointing. While Trump announced his victory, he also threatened to target Iran’s energy and power infrastructure, and said that a major strike could be carried out within the next two or three weeks—this in practice means “business as usual.” Earlier statements about withdrawing troops from the Middle East now appear more like they are meant to soothe the market, while keeping pressure options on the table. Obviously, he still leans toward a “pressure-first” strategy rather than fully cooling things down. (Jin10)
