A Wall Street Journal article cited Trump\u2019s goal of ending the war within four to six weeks of its February start and reopening the strait after peace is restored. CNBC covered the market response, noting the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose about 1,125 points (2.49%), the S&#038;P 500 gained 2.91%,and the Nasdaq climbed 3.83%, marking a strong rally not seen since May 2025. Analysts warned the rally reflects relief and speculation, not a resolution, pointing to ongoing concerns about oil flows through Hormuz. The report also mentions an unconfirmed note that Iranian President Masoud pezeshkian might be willing to wind down the conflict, which could further influence markets.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>New reports indicating President Donald Trump could soon end the war with Iran without a showdown over the Strait of Hormuz sent markets soaring Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not going to be there too much longer.

Trump told the New York Post that the United States isn\u2019t going to be involved for long and that the U.S. is demolishing Iran\u2019s offensive capabilities. He said the Strait should reopen automatically once fighting ends, implying that those who control the oil would want it open again.<\/p>\n<p>The day\u2019s surge followed a Wall Street Journal report indicating Trump aims to finish the war within four to six weeks from its February 28 start, with the Strait reopening after peace is achieved. Market commentators noted the rally, with the Dow Jones up about 1,125 points (roughly 2.5%), the S&amp;P 500 up around 2.9%, and the Nasdaq up about 3.8%. Analysts described it as a relief rally driven by any prospect of an earlier end to hostilities, while warning that significant risks remain if oil supply through Hormuz isn\u2019t resolved.<\/p>\n<p>Some observers, including Eric Diton, suggested markets are reacting to the possibility of a faster ceasefire, but caution is warranted given the limited details. Bill Northey added that investors are seeking signs of a return to normal energy flows through Hormuz. There was also an unconfirmed report that Iran\u2019s president might be willing to wind down the war with guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>Note: The excerpt you provided includes a lot of embedded website code and ad\/video widgets, which isn\u2019t relevant to the core news content<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2585884,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Wall-Street.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3823,10752,3634],"class_list":["post-2585883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-iran","tag-markets","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Wall-Street.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2585883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2585883"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2585883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2585887,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2585883\/revisions\/2585887"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2585884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2585883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2585883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2585883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
