From the lips of President Trump, a man whose words are as fleeting as the morning dew, came tales of productive discourse with the enigmatic Persians. He spoke of shared governance over the Strait of Hormuz, a proposition as absurd as a bear taking tea with a fox, and of a future Iran unshackled from its current leadership. The markets, ever gullible, leapt at these words like a starved dog at a bone. Bitcoin, that digital chimera, ascended from its slumber at $68,850 to a giddy $71,250, while Ethereum, its loyal companion, trailed behind with a modest 2.50% gain. Oil, the black gold, retreated from its lofty perch above $100, settling at a mere $89.40, as if the world had suddenly found peace.
