Stock Futures Rise as Traders Weigh Trump's Signal that Iran War May Soon End: Live Updates

President Trump’s remarks lifted markets as Democrats warned of a prolonged Middle East conflict costing about $891 million daily, with oil flow risks through the Strait of Hormuz.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump suggested the war would end 'very soon,' boosting markets and lowering oil prices.
  • Senate Democrats on Tuesday rebutted Trump’s claim the war may soon end, warning briefed members risk being drawn into a prolonged conflict, Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., said, 'Do you think because he thinks he waves some magic wand that everything just stops?'
  • The Washington Post reported the military burned through $5.6 billion in munitions in the first two days of the war that began Feb. 28, while CSIS estimates the conflict costs roughly $891 million daily and the Strait of Hormuz remains largely impassible.
  • Republicans with a 53-47 Senate majority appeared willing to support more war funding after briefings, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said 'At this point, I am a hard no on a supplemental'.
  • Sheehy warned, 'Iran's been at war with us for 47 years, we're trying to end this war', while Rosen called the situation 'disturbing' and questioned the endgame.
