ꜱʜᴏʀᴛ ᴍᴀʀᴋᴇᴛ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ – ᴍᴏɴᴅᴀʏ, ᴍᴀʀᴄʜ 23, 2026 Everything moves like crypto... After 4 straight weeks of red zones, markets opened this morning with futures pointing to more red but then came a sharp reversal. President Trump announced a 5-day pause on planned strikes against Iranian power plants, citing "productive talks" aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Markets got hyped a bit. The $SPX500 and $NSDQ100 is now up around 2% and the $RTY surged over 3%. 🛢️ Oil was the big mover. Brent dropped over $ 10 /barrel on the de-escalation news. 🥇 Metals are taking a hit since morning. They have recovered a bit but still. $GOLD is down over 6% to and $SILVER fell nearly 10%. 🏦 Bond market: The 10-year Treasury yield sits near 4.43%, keeping the Fed's "higher for longer" stance in focus. Bottom line: It's a geopolitics-driven day. The relief rally is real, but so is the uncertainty because Iran's state media is denying any direct talks with the US. I will do what I do best. Just sit down and watch. Markets are being moved by simple tweets. Check out my user page www.etoro.com/people/marosoo
