Trump's Iran statements have repeatedly unsettled markets since his first term as president. Yet some signs indicate that after each shock, market reactions are gradually moderating. However developments in recent weeks have continued to erode the confidence of even seasoned investors. Below are the instances of Trump's shifts in stance during the Iran conflict that moved markets, according to a Wall Street Journal compilation: CONTINUOUSLY CHANGING TARGETS Trump's repeated changes to demands in the ultimatums to Iran have caused oil prices to swing sharply, with spillovers into many other markets. Shares of oil producers and energy-intensive users have thus moved in two opposite directions. [image] VOLATILE RALLIES AND WAVES The market swung violently in three sessions from March 7 to March 9, as Trump repeatedly issued contradictory signals about Iran—from statements that Tehran would stop attacking neighboring countries to warnings that the country could be "completely destroyed", then saying the U.S. could control the Hormuz Strait. At the same time, Gulf oil producers announced oil output cuts, providing additional leverage for American oil producers.

However, as the Iran conflict persisted, the linkage between the two began to weaken. Recently, oil prices and yields moved in the same direction again, both falling last week after Trump's two-week ceasefire announcement. [image] IMPACT NOT AS LARGE AS THE TARIFF SHOCK Trump's retreat from the harshest statements about the Iran conflict helped equities rebound. However, the gains were not as large as during the strongest rallies seen during the market turmoil driven by his tariff policy last year. Some investors say there is no reason to bet too heavily on any single development, as the landscape can reverse after a single post on social media by the U.S. president.

Hormuz Strait reopening still not enough to unclog goods flows Lessons from the 1970s help the U.S. and many economies stay resilient to oil shocks
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
