After nearly two weeks of daily strikes that shattered a June ceasefire and cost lives on both sides, a three-day pause in hostilities between the United States and Iran has opened a narrow window for diplomacy. President Trump, speaking from Air Force One, described the moment as one of genuine possibility — though Tehran disputes that any direct negotiations are even occurring. Markets, ever sensitive to the arithmetic of conflict, fell sharply on the prospect of de-escalation, as if pricing in a hope that the two governments themselves have not yet agreed to share.
