analyst: Trump's timing in reigniting the possibility of striking Iran is "peculiar," possibly paving the way for subsequent data
Odaily Planet Daily News As Trump's statements on the Iran issue become increasingly fierce, the atmosphere is tense today, although people are still keeping an eye on the upcoming U.S. trading session. Trump stated that negotiations have been dragging on, he has run out of patience, and now Iran must "pay the price." Therefore, he threatened to launch a new round of strikes against Iran's infrastructure, while indirectly reiterating that the maritime blockade will continue.
Justin Low, an analyst at Investinglive, said that so far, the so-called "imminent agreement" may once again be "empty talk." There is an interesting detail from yesterday: in this "war" to date, Trump has claimed nearly 40 times that an agreement was close at hand, or made similar statements. Yet, the outcome remains the same.
However, the analyst pointed out that what is even more striking is the timing of his remarks today. Before this, he was happy to play the "boy who cried wolf" story, but what has changed? The analyst speculates whether Trump might be unhappy with the potential market reaction after seeing the upcoming U.S. CPI data, especially following the market response triggered by the strong U.S. employment data last Friday. The analyst believes it is possible that this situation ignited Trump's anger. (Jin Shi)
