Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi warns of serious consequences, in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the United States (US) and Israel would face serious consequences if there were any military action across all fronts, including Lebanon. “A ceasefire…
tween Iran and the United States constitutes, without any ambiguity, a comprehensive ceasefire across all fronts, including Lebanon. Any violation of this ceasefire on one front shall be considered a violation of it across all fronts
The United States and Israel bear responsibility for the consequences of any breach of the truce,” Araghchi wrote. Market Reaction There seems to be a slight negative impact on S&P 500 futures from Iran Araghchi’s warning against US and Israel attacks on all fronts, including Lebanon. S&P 500 futures drop marginally, but are still 0.2% higher to near 7,600 ahead of US markets opening.
Risk sentiment FAQs In the world of financial jargon the two widely used terms “risk-on” and “risk off” refer to the level of risk that investors are willing to stomach during the period referenced. In a “risk-on” market, investors are optimistic about the future and more willing to buy risky assets. In a “risk-off” market investors start to ‘play it safe’ because they are worried about the future, and therefore buy less risky assets that are more certain of bringing a return, even if it is relatively modest.
