⚠️ Market Reverses Sharply on Ceasefire Announcement — Focus on Sustainability of USD Weakness

⚠️ Market Reverses Sharply on Ceasefire Announcement — Focus on Sustainability of USD Weakness


■ Daily Overview

President Trump announced a two-week temporary ceasefire,
triggering a rapid shift toward risk-on sentiment.

  • Oil: $117 → dropped to low $91 range
  • US yields: declined
  • Equities: surged
  • FX: USD weakened

👉 The previous “war-driven USD strength” was quickly unwound


■ FX Market Developments

  • USD/JPY: high 159 → dropped to low 158
  • EUR/USD: rising

👉 Risk easing = clear USD selling pressure


■ Core Market Interpretation

This move represents:

👉 “Unwinding of the war premium”

However:

  • Ceasefire is limited to 2 weeks
  • Uncertainty remains at the operational level (e.g., IRGC)
  • Regional risks persist

👉 This is NOT a fully stable risk-on environment


■ Scenario Outlook

① Ceasefire Holds (Optimism Continues)

→ Oil remains weak
→ Equities continue rising
→ USD downtrend persists
→ USD/JPY sees further downside


② Ceasefire Fragility / Breakdown Risk

→ Oil rebounds
→ War-driven USD buying returns
→ Sharp reversal (highest risk scenario)


③ Headline-Driven Market

→ Highly volatile, two-way price action


■ Key Focus Today

  • London–Europe session → sustainability of reversal
  • NY session → Trump comments
  • FOMC Minutes

※ With limited economic data, the market is headline-driven


■ Strategy Points

  • Avoid committing to a fixed USD-bearish view
  • Trade both pullbacks and rallies short-term
  • Assume trend can flip on a single headline

■ Summary

The current market is:

👉 “War → Ceasefire → Re-escalation” pendulum market


👉 Not a trend-driven market
👉 A news-driven market


■ Final Take

👉 The most important factors now:

Position management and speed of reaction
