President of the United States Donald Trump has chosen to postpone the potential military strike against Iran for two weeks. The president stated that the attack would be postponed temporarily if Iran allowed the ships to travel safely in the Strait of Hormuz.
The consequences of the decision made by the president were quick and influenced the international financial markets significantly. Crude oil prices have dropped sharply; the price of the American oil went down about 18% to $92.60 per barrel, while Brent crude went down 6% to $103.40 per barrel. However, they are still higher compared to the pre-war period.
Meanwhile, the US stock market saw a surge. S&P 500 futures rose nearly 2.4%, reflecting increased investor confidence. The market hopes that if tensions ease, economic conditions may stabilize.
