Lebanese parliament speaker conveys Hezbollah’s readiness for a full ceasefire, sparking risk-on moves in equities and oil sell-offs.
Hezbollah has signaled readiness for an immediate and full ceasefire with Israel, according to a Lebanese official. The offer includes a pledge to guarantee implementation, aiming to de-escalate tensions in the region.
The announcement follows discussions with the Trump administration, where Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri conveyed the group’s stance. Markets reacted swiftly, with equities rising and oil prices declining on the prospect of reduced geopolitical risk.
The US dollar also showed weakness in early trading, reflecting a shift toward risk assets amid the ceasefire developments.
