Prime-time disappointment

In a 19 min prime-time address, #Trump squashed hope among investors ​of an end to the #war in the #MiddleEast, saying Washington will ‌hit #Iran "extremely hard" over the next 2 to 3 weeks.

With no timeline for an end to the #US - #Israel war with Iran & with the #StraitOfHormuz staying closed, investors were quick to ​return to what they did in March: Selling #stocks, buying US dollars ​& sending #oil prices higher.
