Any news flow regarding developments in the Middle East continues to affect asset prices. In addition to the previous day’s statements that they were working on an agreement in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump’s statement yesterday that they were in negotiations with Iran increased hopes that the tensions in the region could end soon.
The fact that the tension in the region has not completely calmed down leads investors to act cautiously, and this prevents the markets from entering into a strong recovery.
