Signals of a potential diplomatic thaw are nudging risk‑on sentiment across equities and commodities, as investors weigh the prospect of reduced geopolitical volatility against lingering uncertainties. A credible opening from Moscow, coupled with Kyiv’s willingness to engage, eases fears of prolonged supply‑chain disruptions and sanctions escalation, which have underpinned recent defensive positioning. This development dovetails with broader macro themes of easing inflation pressures and a gradual realignment of energy markets, reinforcing expectations for steadier growth in emerging economies dependent on stable trade flows.

Trump particularly singled out recent and ongoing reports of US missile and interceptor shortages, which he has slammed as false. He called out the "treasonous SCUM" in the media for issuing supposedly inaccurate reports on "our Military Operation in Iran" - claiming that the US has "virtually unlimited amounts of Mid to High Grade Ammunition".
But also notably, and in a seeming implicit contradiction, he said the USA is not at the moment "selling them to others" but is producing and stockpiling at "levels never seen before." This is amid an ongoing scramble for Europe to find an avenue to transfer more Patriots to Ukraine, as Zelensky is essentially betting for more missiles.
