biggest thing we got from the Trump press conference today

“We have peace in the middle east. We can either continue that or not. We’ll know in about 10 days.”

basically Trump confirming the reports about the admin thinking of seriously striking Iran soon, more reports today signal significant military presence building up in the Middle East

if so, markets obviously won’t like it and oil is already pricing that in with prices now above $70

ironically, that would only make gas affordability worse in an election year which is something I don’t think Trump would love

if we really put boots on the ground in Iran, not sure if that will help stabilize any of the chop in this market
