Global Daily: Striking?

Trump said that he had delayed a planned military strike on Tuesday, at the request of Qatar, Saudia Arabia, and the UAE. According to Trump, the leaders of the Gulf states had asked the US to call off the attack because “serious negotiations are now taking place,” which could lead to a deal that is acceptable to the US and its Middle Eastern allies. In earlier stages of the conflict, such news would probably have caused a rally in stocks. But it seems that buyers may be on strike, or are at least fatigued.
