Trump's core objectives achieved but no timetable for withdrawal, global stock markets end two-day rebound.

Gelonghui April 2｜As Trump said that the U.S. “core strategic objectives” in its war with Iran are close to being completed, but did not provide a clear timetable for when the conflict will end, the stock market sank on the spot, the U.S. dollar strengthened, and oil prices rose. S&P 500 index futures fell 0.67%, while Euro Stoxx 50 index futures fell 0.1%. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index excluding Japan fell 0.75%; Japan’s Nikkei 225 turned lower amid sharp volatility, down more than 1%. Over the past two trading days, hopes that this month-long U.S.-Israel-Iran war could be close to ending had boosted global equities and pulled the dollar back from its recent peak. Analysts and investors are closely watching when and how the Strait of Hormuz—key fuel transportation route—will reopen. After the speech ended, the U.S. dollar index rose against most currencies.
