Trump to deliver Iran war update Wednesday evening as global markets rally on peace hopes. The president's address at 9 p.m. ET comes as military operations enter their second month, with Trump signaling a potential near-term exit strategy. Markets have responded positively to indications that the U.S. could withdraw forces within two to three weeks without requiring a formal negotiated settlement. Asian markets rebounded overnight while European stocks are poised to open higher, buoyed by prospects of reduced geopolitical tension and stabilizing energy prices. Crude oil extended gains as investors price in decreased conflict risk. The address addresses growing war fatigue among voters who prioritize domestic economic concerns, making an expedited resolution politically advantageous for the administration.
