Analyst: Trump's timing in reigniting the possibility of striking Iran is "peculiar," possibly paving the way for subsequent data

Odaily reported that as Trump's rhetoric on the Iran issue becomes increasingly heated, the atmosphere is tense today, though attention remains on the upcoming US trading session. Trump stated that negotiations are dragging on, he has reached his limit, and now Iran must "pay the price." Consequently, he threatened to launch a new round of strikes on Iran's infrastructure, while indirectly reiterating that the maritime blockade will continue.

According to Justin Low, an analyst at Investinglive, the previously touted "imminent agreement" now appears to be "empty talk" once again. An interesting detail emerged yesterday: throughout this "war" to date, Trump has claimed nearly 40 times that a deal is close at hand, or made similar statements. Yet, the outcome remains the same.

However, the analyst points out that what is more striking is the timing of his remarks today. Before this, he seemed content to play the "cry wolf" game, so what has changed? The analyst speculates whether Trump might have seen the upcoming US CPI data and felt dissatisfied with the potential market reaction. This is especially plausible after observing the market response to last Friday's robust US employment data. The analyst believes it is possible that this situation triggered Trump's anger. (Jin Shi)
