Market Celebrating Trump's Seeming Desperation to Pull US Out of Iran War.

The episode dissects the market’s upbeat reaction to President Trump’s 15‑point peace proposal aimed at ending the Iran‑U.S. conflict, highlighting how traders are betting on reduced risk despite lingering supply disruptions in oil and refined products. Host commentary contrasts divergent media narratives—from Al Jazeera’s skepticism to Western optimism—and notes the ongoing volatility in crude prices, especially Brent and WTI, as well as the ripple effects on Asian fuel markets and European LNG supplies. The show also reviews a broader equity backdrop, pointing out a sharp sell‑off in major SaaS stocks (Microsoft, Adobe, Salesforce) triggered by AI‑related news, while spotlighting Lumentum’s surge on its inclusion in the S&P 500. Finally, a brief digression covers Denmark’s fragmented election results, underscoring political uncertainty in Europe.
