Trump đình chỉ kế hoạch tấn công Iran, dầu giảm 9% trong cuối tuần, các thị trường châu Á mở cửa thấp hơn

The Huoxing Finance report states that on August 3, over the weekend, Trump’s strategy toward Iran saw a TACO reversal, shifting from “imminent strike” to “delayed strike.” As of last night and early this morning, Trump’s latest statement was: “At the request of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Iran, I have canceled the strike on Iran. I believe an agreement has already been reached regarding the Strait of Hormuz, and denuclearization will also be agreed upon. We are engaging with them through negotiations, starting tomorrow afternoon (Beijing time Tuesday morning). We are ready to act at any moment.” In response to this news, Brent crude oil prices quickly dropped from a weekend high of $91 to currently $83.8. However, the positive news did not boost stock markets in Japan and South Korea; according to market data, the Nikkei 225 opened Monday down 659.27 points, or 1.02%, while the South Korean KOSPI index fell 217.22 points, or 3.29%. SK Hynix declined 4%, and Samsung Electronics dropped 5%.
