He seemed to indicate that the US was negotiating with Iran&#8217;s parliamentary speaker, someone who was reported dead on the weekend but has continued to tweet frequently, including about market moves.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about Iran Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, he encouraged Iran to make a deal before it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re gonna find out,\u201d Trump told The Post. \u201cI\u2019ll let you know that in about a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That corresponds with the April 6 deadline Trump set. However the market isn&#8217;t sure how seriously to take that timeline given that he&#8217;s extended it twice already.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also leaned into the regime change rhetoric, which is an odd one given that the Supreme Leader is the old leader&#8217;s son and the parliamentary speaker hasn&#8217;t changed, and is highly combative online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere has been total regime change because the regimes of the past are<br \/>\ngone and we\u2019re dealing with a whole new set of people,\u201d Trump said. \u201cAnd<br \/>\n thus far, they\u2019ve been much more reasonable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the new Supreme Leader, Trump said he&#8217;s unwell but probably alive.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cWe don\u2019t know. We think probably yes, but in extraordinarily bad shape,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the attack on an Israeli refinery, he said the US response would be coming &#8216;shortly&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if there&#8217;s anything new here that wasn&#8217;t in the Truth Social post earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, WTI prices are up $2.88 to $102.58 but US Treasury yields are down 8-11 bps across the curve, which runs counter to the recent relationship with oil. The S&amp;P 500 is up 0.3% while the Nasdaq is flat.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Adam Button at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump spoke with the New York Post in some comments that are hard to interpret.
