Today Is "Bridge Day"
y Benjamin Picton, Senior Market Strategist at Rabobank
As traders return from the Easter break markets are again counting down to an ultimatum deadline set by President Trump. Trump took to Truth Social over the weekend to warn the Iranian regime to make a deal, threatening that Tuesday will be "Power Plant Day" and "Bridge Day" where infrastructure of that kind will be targeted by American forces if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has set a deadline of 8pm ET for a deal to be reached; Iran has said that it will retaliate against energy and water infrastructure of Gulf states if it is struck.
So, today is 'Bridge Day', but will it be a day for burning bridges, or building them?
