After launching strikes on Iran , Trump says ceasefire is over but negotiations can continue
What it means
A direct U.S. military strike on Iran — with the U.S. declaring the ceasefire over — is a genuine escalation beyond the ongoing Israel-Lebanon situation already priced in. Events of this type have historically been associated with sharp oil and gold spikes, gains in defense stocks, and short-term pressure on broad equities, particularly given the risk to Strait of Hormuz oil flows.
