It will come after the US market close, with it scheduled for 0100 GMT. Trump is set to deliver &#8220;important updates&#8221; on Iran and the expectation is that he will signal the beginning of the end to the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">As such, we&#8217;re seeing optimism flow across broader markets in European trading.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">Major indices in Europe are posting solid gains in following up Wall Street yesterday. The DAX is up 2.7% and CAC 40 up 2.1% on the day. Meanwhile, the IBEX is up 3.1% and FTSE MIB up 3.3% currently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">This comes as US futures are also looking buoyed with S&amp;P 500 futures up 0.9% on the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">In the oil market, we are seeing WTI crude drop nearly 3% to $98.63 after some pushing and pulling around the $100 mark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">As for major currencies, there was a broad retreat for the US dollar. The greenback is lower across the board with EUR\/USD nudging up by 0.5% to above 1.1600 and AUD\/USD climbing by 0.8% to 0.6955.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">In other markets, it was more of the same as we see more positive sentiment take hold. 10-year Treasury yields are down 3 bps to 4.28% while gold is up 1.8% on the day to $4,752.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">All eyes are on Trump now.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Justin Low at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Headlines: Mission accomplished?
