Impact Analysis

So this ‘Peace Committee’ is more about PR than actual peace. The timing is key—it comes just a week after he cancelled talks with Iran, creating tension and then positioning himself as the peacemaker Wallstreetcn. It’s a classic playbook move on the Davos world stage. They’re focusing narrowly on Gaza, which allows him to claim a specific ‘win’ . Don’t get distracted; the real signals are the ongoing hardline stance on Iran and his open conflict with the Fed Finet HK. This is a preview of his transactional, unilateral foreign policy. The market will likely see through the noise, so I wouldn’t chase any headline-driven rally. This just reinforces the broader theme of geopolitical volatility. The trade is to remain skeptical of these ‘deals’ and stay positioned for continued uncertainty.
