Markets’ Reaction to Trump’s Tweet on Iran

WTI Oil prices are restless, as some investors took profits ahead of today’s tweet from Donald Trump which will announce his stance on the Iranian deal.

Markets are nervously anticipating Donald Trump’s decision on the Iranian deal. Some think he may just pull out which could be possible but unlikely. Rather, he may suggest renegotiation of new terms.

Meanwhile, markets are cautiously marching around, as Oil oscillates between $69.59-$70.25

• JPY sees a bit of demand amid political uncertainties some investors prefer it as a safe haven.
