00:00One man. One social media post. Trillions of dollars moved.
00:04On Monday morning, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the United States
00:11and Iran had held very good and productive conversations, and that he was halting military
00:16strikes on Iranian power plants. The reaction was immediate. Dow futures surged more than 1,000
00:23points within minutes. S&P 500 futures jumped 2.7 percent. Oil prices fell 6 percent in a single
00:30session. Gold, which had been surging to record highs, dropped sharply. Before that post, markets
00:36were in freefall. The S&P 500 had lost 6 percent since the Iran war started. The Siboy volatility
00:43index, Wall Street's fear gauge, had spiked above 30 for the first time since early March.
00:49Investors were pricing in a recession. After that post, everything reversed. This is what
00:55markets looked like in 2026. Trillion-dollar swings driven not by earnings reports or economic
01:01data, but by a single sentence posted online before sunrise. The Iran war is not over. The
01:08Strait of Hormuz is not open. But for one morning, one post changed everything.
