President Trump also highlighted market surges tied to Iran peace signals during the G7 summit press conference.
“Every time we talked about possibility of peace, market shot up like a rocket ship,” Trump declared. “Never really went down. The stock market is more brilliant than anybody.”
He linked these rallies to the U.S.-Iran MOU, which includes a ceasefire, Strait of Hormuz reopening, and limited sanctions relief, while warning of renewed strikes if Iran fails to comply.
The “peace through strength” narrative, backed by explicit military leverage, has reduced short-term volatility premiums.
