Global financial markets experienced a significant relief rally on Wednesday as oil prices tumbled and equities surged following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran. The diplomatic breakthrough came shortly before a critical deadline, with Donald Trump indicating a pause in hostilities to allow for the potential resumption of energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iranian officials stated they would halt counter-attacks and ensure safe passage through the vital waterway provided that strikes against the nation cease.
