US President Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver a national address at 9 PM Washington time on Wednesday (1st) to discuss the latest developments in the Iran war. Trump previously stated that he expects the US to conclude the Iran war in the coming weeks, as the US has essentially achieved its military objectives and will leave the task of reopening the Strait of Hormuz to other countries. The market is hopeful that the Iran war may soon end, leading to a rebound in the Asia-Pacific markets this morning (April 1).
