Trump sends conflicting signals about the war with Iran!
Yesterday afternoon, Trump told a phone interview with CBS: "This war is 'very close to being completed,' and we are way ahead of schedule!" Trump has sent conflicting signals about how long the war with Iran will last. He first suggested that the war might soon end, but several hours later he said the US had not yet achieved enough victories, and his goal was to achieve a final victory. He believed the operations against Iran were already "very thorough," and he claimed that Iran now has no navy, no communication facilities, no air force, few missiles left, and drones destroyed, including their drone manufacturing plants. From a military perspective, they have nothing left!" After this statement was broadcast, it seemed to ease market concerns about a prolonged war. On the same day, the three major US stock indices that had fallen earlier rebounded, and oil prices declined.
[Savvy] Trump's flip-flopping, one sentence moves the global market! Trump's statements about the war with Iran have been all over the place. In the morning, he said it would soon end and the results exceeded expectations, but just a few hours later, he changed his tone, saying the victory was not enough and that he wanted a final complete victory. He also belittled Iran's military strength. This kind of contradictory statements has long been his usual tactic. Historically, he has often used verbal bravado to influence oil prices and stir up the US stock market, creating expectation gaps with extreme expressions. The current situation in the Middle East has not actually cooled down, and Iran's resolve to resist remains strong. The so-called "completely crushed" is more like political rhetoric. On one hand, he softens his words to calm the market, while on the other hand, he makes strong statements to maintain domestic support, precisely controlling public opinion and financial sentiment. As soon as he spoke, the US stock market stopped falling and rebounded, and oil prices dropped. The market was completely led by his rhetoric. This is not a turning point in the battle, but a typical political maneuver. A short-term improvement in sentiment does not mean the risk has disappeared. The situation in the Middle East remains fragile, and there are still many uncertainties. Market fluctuations will continue!
