I know nothing about stock markets. Thank goodness for diversified funds. I don’t understand how this is good news: “Stocks jumped after President Trump told aides that he's willing to end the war without fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz,”

Can someone edify me?
How is this good news? – Markets up on Hormuz news

Iranian president stated he wants the war to end.
However, “In Iran’s political structure, the President holds significant administrative power but is strictly subordinate to the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in all matters of national security and strategic policy.”
So, nothing burger. Market pumping off false hope.
It’s less uncertainty. International is up even more than the US is, and the USD tanked.
Problem is caring about day to day movements. I recommend you buy stocks in great companies with a minimum 5 year horizon, then stop obsessing about what the market does in a single day.
It could be short squeezing
>I don’t understand how this is good news:
It isn’t. Americans proudly elected an openly corrupt narcissistic dementia patient and a minority of Americans are making money hand over fist due to this.
The average American who was dumb enough to consider Trump an intellectual powerhouse is being used as exit liquidity.
Stop trying to find a brilliant strategy when “Americans are fucking idiots” explains everything.
Clear bluff imo. It would be a severe geopolitical setback for the US to quit the war without reopening the strait- probably the worst since Vietnam.
Also seems notable that oil futures are trading flat, not dropping.
Markets don’t like war cause it creates uncertainty. So when a global shifting crisis might end, markets pop up cause it’ll be back to normal business.
Unfortunately, we’re in a system where tweets are driving the global stock market right now not reality.
I saw China got some ships through
The Iranian president might already be dead. Who knows, he might be dead tomorrow
We’ve had like a month of down only..
Copium just hits different nowadays.
watch this friday night
The market is heavily manipulated. It’s decoupled from reality.
It’s a desperate emotion play. Markets are looking for any “good” news to bounce after a month. The downward pressure will resume tomorrow.
