US-Iran considering for another 60 days ceasefire. Is this good or not?

[snowpega]

Well, although for a moment this is a good thing that they are taking more time to cool down the tense matters in the whole Middle East. But if we think the same thing from another side, then I think this is still not positive news, as the rate of inflation will stay in the same place or may increase until they both agree on a complete ceasefire or until the Strait of Hormuz is not fully operational. As the rate of living costs is increasing, Oil prices are increasing, gas prices are increasing, and goods prices are increasing. So, for a better environment internationally, the Strait of Hormuz has to be fully operational, and the war should be ended as soon as possible.

Mediators believe they are nearing a deal to extend the U.S. ceasefire with Iran by 60 days and establish a framework for nuclear talks, the Financial Times reported, citing sources.

Pakistani and Qatari negotiators held talks with Iranian counterparts on Thursday and Friday, while staying in regular contact with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, the FT reported.

Iran’s top negotiator told a Pakistani counterpart that Iran wouldn’t compromise its “legitimate rights” and expressed distrust of the U.S., Reuters reported Saturday.

And at the same time, I was also reading a piece of news that Trump is saying he is 50/50 on whether the US will reach the deal with Iran or resumes military actions. What do you guys think about this matter?

Recently Trump has posted that:


He said an agreement will occur and the Strait of Hormuz will be opened, but later Iran's Fars News said they will not open it in the way Trump described. Instead, they claim they will manage it themselves. So it seems the situation is again going back and forth, where one side issues strong statements and the other side responds in the opposite direction, until eventually some form of agreement is reached. It is possible we may still see a ceasefire, but at this point we can only wait and see how things develop.

They will likely wait until Monday when the markets open again and then either announce that no deal has been reached or adjust their position again. In the meantime, there is also fear in the market, as shipping risks in the Strait remain a concern. Even when Trump says it is open, many do not fully trust those statements, especially with ongoing tensions in the region. Ultimately, it is a geopolitical game between major players, and global markets end up reacting to it.

[ingiltere]

It would be best if the war ended but a ceasefire is a good thing too. However they must ultimately reach an agreement and the war must end. If this ceasefire serves no purpose other than allowing preparations for new positions, then it's meaningless.
Unfortunately as long as Trump remains in office, the world will not achieve stability. He ends one war only to start another. In such an environment every country's economy suffers. High inflation has already become a reality of life.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

Not good at all; if anything, I look at the ceasefire as a way for both sides to prepare for the second round of war. During the period we have had the ceasefire, we are still seeing gas prices going up at the pump. An additional 60 days means the prices will continue to rise. No one wants this kind of thing.

The war must end completely if things are to go back to normal.

[Coyster]

During the period we have had the ceasefire, we are still seeing gas prices going up at the pump.

Yes there is a fragile ceasefire in place, but the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, so nothing changed in the waterway and that is why gasoline price cannot come down yet.

He said an agreement will occur and the Strait of Hormuz will be opened, but later Iran's Fars News said they will not open it in the way Trump described. Instead, they claim they will manage it themselves.

It is a show on display right now. Iran wouldn't allow Trump claim any "victory". There's obviously been no victor in this war, but Trump being a very proud man would try to use social media to paint himself as that, but Iran isn't having any of it, lol.
Looking at things objectively, nothing has changed as a result of this military action: the regime is still in control, Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz and they have not abandoned their nuclear program. So what exactly has Trump achieved?

[rat03gopoh]

Ceasefire? Okay, but we have to look back.
We've become accustomed to seeing news reports from both sides, sometimes accusing the other of violating certain points of the agreement and causing similar unrest instead of temporary global stability.

I simply consider the ceasefire merely an attempt to refuel new ammunition to continue the tensions in the future. hahaa

Though we don't know what's happening behind the curtain of both camps involved, what we wished is that this war should be stopped and settle on agreements that will benefit both. Or at least, have some fairness to both sides. We don't know what is happening in those closed doors meeting. Why Iran is so aggressive with their decisions like in the Strait of Hormuz. It means, they have some cards holding against the US. And why US is very adamant to stop Iran? More than likely, both of them have ulterior motives that they are not telling to the public.

Yes, they have ceasefire. And then what? Why they can't come to terms this early? Why prolong this situation? When the whole world is being affected by this war because of the oil price hike in most countries. And so with the commodities. I believe both sides need to come up with their senses because it is not only them that is directly affected by their decisions.

[Jaweria parveen]

I have not seen such news yet in which a ceasefire is being declared once again, however, America and Iran have threatened each other once again, which shows that the war is about to start again. If you are right, then this is a good aspect, which is not bringing peace to the war, but after a few days, a ceasefire is being declared, due to which the attacks are decreasing. Now, in what I have talked about, America has said that if Iran does not listen to us soon, then a war may start, and in response, Iran has said that if America attacks this time, we will show how to fight a war. They will also benefit from the ceasefire because innocent people are dying, and many situations are also changing.

[jcojci]

The ceasefire could be a prepare for the next war. I am not sure if Trump say right or not and Iran agree with the deal. Trump just want to take the resources no matter what happens as that can improve their power. People just want to see the war end immediately because that can impact to the world situation, makes citizen suffers and difficult to survive. We already see how many people died and lost their family and everything but no sign war will end soon.

The United States suffered significant losses in this war and has yet to achieve its objectives. Continuing the conflict may no longer serve much purpose, and they likely understand that as well. So, I believe the likelihood of the United States resuming military action against Iran is very low. All the rumor about them considering or preparing new attack may simply be a strategy to gain leverage at the negotiating table

Regarding the recent 60 day ceasefire, it is a good thing. Because there will never be a lasting peace agreement without a ceasefire and negotiation.

[JeffBrad12]

Ceasefire is just deferring conflict, could explode again anytime and nobody in the market will think the Iran-US war is settled, price of oil will stay high.
We need better news than this, a true peace deal and nuclear treaty for example, otherwise just another fragile ceasefire. How many times ceasefire has been broken in the past anyway?
I don't even expect the ceasefire could hold for 60 days.

There is really nothing to overthink here. "The market discounts everything," as old man Dow, the father of market theory, used to say. The entire reaction is already priced into the chart.

I noticed a very similar pattern during the Iranian talks back on May 14th and 15th. First, the US Vice President claimed a deal was reached and the strait would open, but then Iran quickly denied it. The second candle completely engulfed the first one on the way down, and Bitcoin’s decline just kept going.

The day before yesterday, we got hit with bad news first, and yesterday Trump tried to inject some positivity. However, it wasn't enough to trigger a trend reversal. Overall, the whole situation with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz hasn't done anything to shift the broader bearish sentiment yet.

Now, regarding this 60-day ceasefire: it basically guarantees a fixed period of halted shipping. Analysts point out that this is exactly how long global energy reserves will last. At the very least, expect Bitcoin to drop back into the boundaries of the sideways range we saw at the beginning of the year.

[viljy]

Trump says a lot of things just for the purpose of manipulation. This is often a deliberate lie. Objectively, it looks like Iran has control over the situation. And in the position that the parties to the conflict are taking now, I do not believe that Iran will open the strait so easily on American terms. And Trump won't agree to Iranian terms. Because for him, it would actually be tantamount to admitting defeat. However, I think that next week we will find out what will actually happen, and not from Trump's words.

So far, this is the second ceasefire agreement between the two side. Although there were a few minor attack during the previous ceasefire, that agreement was never truly broken. That is why we have barely seen any major confrontation between them throughout this period.

Of course, what we need is a peace agreement to completely end the war. However, the ceasefire is not necessarily a negative sign, as it shows that both side want to avoid escalation and move towards peace. So this can still be seen as a positive sign.

Trump has walked into a war that he has limited control over exiting. Firstly there is Israel, which wants America there and kept attacking Iran because it's protector was in the region - but this has been reined in a bit. Secondly Trump always tries to bully opponents and allies alike, but Iran is a geographical fortress surrounded by mountains which would make a war a big mess, plus they have a far larger population than say Afghanistan which also became a quagmire. Thirdly, Iran using asymmetric warfare can use rather limited forces to control a key trade route which would have been known to anyone that isn't an idiot before starting the war, yet Trump is that idiot. It will be good to see a truce and even peace deal, not that anyone trusts the US president to keep it, because things are still getting much more expensive for everyone around the world because of this.

[RockBell]

The war ending is exactly what we want to see but like you said ceasefire is also a good thing we all know the kind of dangers war comes with a lot of people would have been affected a lot of businesses and even the life there will be different and am sure or Trump should be doing something about the whole war because truth is we would not want to continue like this because even does that are not part of the war are already affected.

This war have cause economy breakdown because even from the price of fuel how many people have stopped using there car because of the price of fuel and obviously transportation is one of the key things when it comes to economy growth goods needs to be moved and also people so this are things we can not do we don't we just hope something positive we come around after the ceasefire because it ending is what we want.

[The Cryptovator]

Yesterday I was quite excited when I heard about the peace deal. The draft should be published within 24 hours since the news was published. Also, Trump has written about that peace deal. But if eventually the deal is canceled or extended for another 60 days, then the situation will remain unchanged. Everything depends on the situation; Trump's mind would be changed anytime.

However, I am still expecting a peach deal; we are suffering from this war as crypto users. Unless the war ends through a peace deal, then the market won't improve, and we'll have to suffer again. Instead of casus belli, the peace deal is better.

This conflict is causing serious economic consequences globally, disrupting oil supplies and driving up energy prices. So, the war needs to end.

However, we should not blame the war for the current market situation and what investors are facing. Because the market had already entered a bearish phase before the war broke out.
In addition, investing inherently involves risk, and as investor, we should always have a plan and contingency measures in place.
What guarantees that if the war ends, the market will recover and grow strongly? Therefore, if we are experiencing difficulty and tired, it is because we were not well prepared.

The agreement was expected to be signed today but so far both parties are still facing issues that remain unresolved, which shows that it is a complete mess and both sides are doing this for the benefit of their own countries. Still, the US does not seem willing to agree on every condition because many people believe they wanted regime change and more influence in the region through Israel. Israel started the first war and then the second escalation happened through US involvement, so now it feels like the conflict was between the US and Iran all along.

The reality is probably far more complicated and we cannot fully know what is actually happening behind the scenes. They say it is all about the nuclear program, and even before the war Iran had agreed to reduce uranium enrichment, but they still attacked because they did not trust Iran. Many people think they wanted regime change and failed to achieve it. The way Trump asked the people of Iran to come forward looked like an attempt to create internal pressure from within the country, but that also failed at a large level. Now it seems they will not agree to anything unless they get a deal that benefits them the most or until they get tired.

[Mate2237]

Mmm I see that trump don't want to use Force again but has been Deplomatic for a while, trying to go the way of discussion rather than his usual military actions which he usually does anytime he wants something or when he wants someone or even a nation to do his bidding. But this is a welcome development that the two parties are now reasoning like me and now prioritize human life more than the greed of some politicians and even religious leaders.


At every point in time no matter the issue is , leaders should always prioritize the life of their citizens more than their political interest. Just like the words of former Nigerian president which stated that his political ambitions is not worth the blood of any Nigerian which he lived up to fulfill when he conceede defeat to his opposition party before the official results were announced.
