@_nikkihaley: Financial markets in the Gulf rose Monday after President Donald Trump signaled that new strikes on Iran were unlikely while negotiations continued. Saudi Arabia’s benchmark index rose 0.1%, while Dubai’s main index gained 0.8%, Abu Dhabi’s index rose 0.8% and Qatar’s index added 0.4%, according to Reuters. The market reaction reflected hopes for de-escalation in a conflict that has disrupted shipping near the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil shipments. But the outlook remains uncertain. Both sides continued reporting attacks on shipping in or near the waterway, and a senior Emirati official warned that the region could face a prolonged period of instability. Trump’s comments are a diplomatic signal—not a confirmed ceasefire or a completed agreement. Markets can move quickly if negotiations stall or security conditions change. #ThePatriotBrief #Iran #MiddleEast #OilPrices #StraitOfHormuz #GlobalMarkets #NationalSecurity 💬 Discussion: What would a durable agreement in the region need to address beyond an immediate pause in fighting?
