United States (US) President Donald Trump just announced through Truth Social a 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel, to start on Thursday at 5 pm Eastern time.
I just had excellent conversations with the Highly Respected President Joseph Aoun, of Lebanon, and Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel. These two Leaders have agreed that in order to achieve PEACE between their Countries, they will formally begin a 10 Day CEASEFIRE at 5 P.M. EST. On Tuesday, the two Countries met for the first time in 34 years here in Washington, D.C., with our Great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. I have directed Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Rubio, together with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Razin' Caine, to work with Israel and Lebanon to achieve a Lasting PEACE. It has been my Honor to solve 9 Wars across the World, and this will be my 10th, so let's, GET IT DONE! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
Market reaction
The US Dollar (USD) is under mild selling pressure following the announcement, but holding on to most of its intraday gains across the FX board. Action remains limited amid uncertainty related to US-Iran future negotiations to pause the Middle East war.
