Wall Street Waits for a Sign the War Is Ending
But with chaotic and contradictory messages from Donald Trump, no one knows where to turn.
International organizations, government leaders and Wall Street are attempting to divine the endgame of the US-Israel war with Iran amid increasingly chaotic and contradictory statements by President Donald Trump as his administration struggles to find a way out of the month-old conflict.
The war has pushed US pump prices above $4 a gallon, threatening political pain for Republicans in a midterm election year. Trump, 79, is said to realize the current situation is untenable, according to persons familiar with the matter. He has scheduled a televised speech about the war this evening.
