02.04.202611:58 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Oil and dollar poised to rally on Trump's mixed messages

Relevancia 05:00 2026-04-04 UTC--4

It seems few market participants fully understand — let alone trust — the US president anymore. His back-and-forth behavior only reinforces the likelihood of a ground operation. Now the question is what form it will take.

So, Trump's latest statements — two days ago, claiming the Middle East war would end in two to three weeks, then reversing course and threatening Iran with severe reprisals — all point to an increased risk of a ground invasion of the Islamic Republic.

In this environment, markets already in a state of high volatility are simply being yanked from side to side. One day, they are full of optimism. The next, that optimism vanishes like morning fog. Oil prices are again rising more than 7%, gold is plunging about 3.25% intraday, the dollar is back above the 100 level on the ICE index, and crypto instruments are trading in the red.

Now, after diametrically opposed statements from Trump, everything reverts to the status quo: Americans promise victory, and Iranians respond in kind.

Against the backdrop of the Middle East conflict, market participants are largely ignoring incoming US economic data that point to a fragile domestic picture — one that needs low interest rates and affordable energy (gasoline, diesel, etc.) to stimulate growth.

What to expect in the near term?

I believe the Middle East war and Trump's behavior — likely intentionally chosen to mislead as he sees fit until a final decision on a ground operation is made — will continue to push markets from extreme to extreme, driving high volatility and, overall, a sideways trading range.
