Does this lead to an ending of the war?

I mean, you're already seeing kind of those signs now.

The markets are

you know, exhaled a bit today, you know, as tensions, you know, kind of eased over the last 72 hours.

The Dow Jones, the S&P futures, they both soared on the news of the ceasefire.

Oil prices dropped.

But again, time will tell.

And as we've talked about all these various scenarios, you can easily see that markets are just going to remain volatile.

And I think that goes for the American public as well.

If the Strait is not opened and if your gas prices stay over $4, you know, I don't think people are going to be happy.

And that's absolutely going to have an impact or at least very likely going to have an impact on the midterms, especially if Trump.

cannot pivot, as he continues to say, to domestic issues.

It hasn't.

It hasn't.

Yeah, probably hours more than weeks.

But OK, let's be optimistic.

Let's say the ceasefire does hold for the next two weeks.

I'm going to be looking for signs of what the Iranian government is doing.

It is still functioning, but it's a whole new group of people because so many leaders have been killed in the war.

Is it coming up with a coherent approach to the negotiations?
