Most notably and most infuriated, of course, is Israel.
Yeah, the price of oil has absolutely plummeted.
So that is what the markets are looking for, is A, the oil price, because then that affects the global economy, which then knocks on to markets.
So it isn't just, you know, what's happening in the region.
It's that, and then it's the sense of stability.
And I suppose the third thing is obvious, is that when you de-risk, in other words, when a war appears to be less likely, and we're talking about a regional war,
then markets and investors are happier with that.
And your question, of course, about whether a conflict in Lebanon is contained to Lebanon is an important one.
And it speaks to the fact that if Iran were, let's just take a sort of maximalist position and to say, okay, this is such a point of principle, we walk away from this table and
we rip up this deal and we start firing missiles at UAE again, for instance, then you would see all of that confidence turned on its head.
I don't think that...
anyone believes right now that that is a likely outcome and that you know lebanon as you've just been talking about has had decades of this grinding depressing conflict and i suspect most market watchers from that position would think it's that the lebanese conflict is likely to be contained within lebanon because that is what has been happening for so long
Yeah, so there's been a trade, as far as you put it, involving the United States and Iran.
Now, we are not talking about a sort of huge return to conflict.
But we are talking about the United States attacking what it thought were drones that were going to imperil it, and then Iran attacking a US base.
Neither of these things are enormous cataclysmic events, but I think they're a demonstration of, as we all know, just how fragile and frail this ceasefire is, not least because of the apparent lack of progress.
And you've just...
illustrated that very well there, the fact that after all these talks, we are still hearing about, well, who's going to control the Strait of Hormuz?
Well, let's just remember that before this war started, ships were going through the Strait of Hormuz without any problems at all.
So we're in this curious position where at the moment, people are discussing a ceasefire that would just take us back to where we were before the war even broke out.
