President Trump famously waited for the markets to close for the weekend before announcing war on Iran. This weekend he imposed a chilling 48-hour deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or face the total obliteration of its energy facilities.

Whether we are really any closer to a “total resolution” is extremely unclear. It’s hard to see how Trump can declare any kind of victory right now. The only side crowing about victory will be Iran - and whether the markets like it or not, it’s hard to see how President Trump will settle for that.
