In the United States, President Trump announced that he would postpone the planned attack on Iran at the request of leaders from Gulf countries, leading to stability in the market and a decrease in the value of the US dollar. As prospects for a potential peace agreement improved, this caused oil prices to fall. Analysts from Deutsche Bank stated in a report, "This news helps to eliminate some of the risk premium accumulated yesterday." However, due to the continued uncertainty in the Middle East situation, market volatility remains limited. Trump also warned that he has instructed military officials to be prepared to launch a comprehensive and large-scale attack on Iran at any time if an acceptable agreement cannot be reached. The DXY US dollar index fell by 0.1% to 99.098.
