News that the US was sending over a Marine Expeditionary Unit that won&#8217;t arrive for 12-16 days stretches the timeline to the end of the month and the full 4-5 weeks Trump touted, at minimum.<\/p>\n<p>There is a sense that Iran isn&#8217;t ready to end the war even if Trump wants to and that means there could be a battle to control the Strait of Hormuz or persistent naval escorts. If that&#8217;s where this is headed that it&#8217;s going to be a long spring and oil prices will stay high.<\/p>\n<p>We saw that today with crude falling to $92 in Asian but rising all the way to $99.32 and finishing near the highs of the day. At the same time, US equities started with a 50 point gain that turned into a 45 point loss as the de-risking continues.<\/p>\n<p>The FX market had been taking the fighting in stride but is increasingly shifting into dollars. That&#8217;s pushed the euro to the lowest since July after a break of 1.1500 and a continued run lower.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian dollar had been immune to the war trade up until now but it cracked on Friday and fell 83 pips to 0.6995.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian dollar stands to benefit from the higher oil prices but fresh worries about the domestic economy hit after a poor jobs report &#8212; the second one in a row and the worst headline since 2022. So even with oil up $40 in a month, USD\/CAD is flat at 1.3729.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the final hours of trading was speculation about what could happen over the weekend. There is a huge range of possibilities from peace to sunken US ships and that will ensure another intense opening on Sunday night. Until then, have a nice weekend.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Adam Button at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pentagon is moving additional warships to the Middle East Trump says war will end when he feels it &#8220;in my bones&#8221; US GDP for Q4 (2nd revision) 0.7% vs 1.4% estimate&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-428492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428492\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
