Israel and Iran halt attacks as Trump looks toward a near-term peace deal


Israel and Iran announced on Monday that they have halted military operations, following a fierce exchange of fire that tested the fragility of the ceasefire agreement in place between the United States and Tehran in early April.

However, Iranian military leaders warned that any renewed Israeli attack—especially in southern Lebanon—could trigger an escalation.

U.S. President Donald Trump indicated on Tuesday the possibility of unveiling a new proposal regarding the Iranian nuclear deal within days, according to Reuters. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week reaffirmed the continuation of military operations against Iran and Hezbollah, stressing that both sides are being weakened significantly.

Markets remain on alert for potential fluctuations stemming from subsequent developments, as reflected by the crypto fear and greed index, which stood at 10 in the extreme fear zone on Tuesday, up from 8 the day before.

A steady increase in demand for risky assets is needed to maintain the recovery, as Bitcoin looks to return above $70000, Ethereum above $2000, and XRP above $2.00.
