# Contradictory Signals from the White House: How Are Investors Reacting?

US President Donald Trump, speaking at the White House, stated that the most difficult phase of the conflict is already behind, that after its conclusion the Strait of Hormuz will be opened, oil supplies will resume, and gas prices will decrease. With these statements, the American leader not only emphasized US military superiority but also attempted to reduce economic tensions.

As reported by BAKU.WS with reference to video material from Baku TV, at the current stage the main consequences of the conflict are being felt beyond the battlefield. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted global energy supplies, leading to a sharp rise in oil prices.

Despite Trump's statements about an imminent easing of tensions, the markets perceived his words more as a signal of possible escalation rather than stabilization.

Investors, for their part, saw in his speech neither a clear settlement plan nor a concrete strategy for further actions.
