US Donald Trump’s decision to call off the attack on Iran has lifted stock markets worldwide. The DAX is expected to start trading with a gain of more than 1.5 percent today, while the focus is on the upcoming IPO of SpaceX.
Hopes for an imminent peace agreement in the Middle East, fueled by Trump’s reversal, are driving euphoria in the markets. Ray Attrill, currency strategist at National Australia Bank, expressed optimism: “This looks perhaps a bit more tangible than what we’ve had before.” Wall Street recorded its biggest daily gains since early April on Thursday, driven by peace hopes and anticipation of the SpaceX IPO.
