This is how Yahoo!Finance puts it:
Markets became upbeat after Trump said he gave instructions to postpone military strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure, thanks to "very good and productive" talks between the US and Tehran that will continue throughout the week.

Trump has surpassed the John Kerry level of flip flopping.
And surpassed the Kamala Harris level of word salads.

Trump and his advisors agreed to claim that Iran called to ask to please end the war Trump was losing. LOLTACO anyone?
Dow futures jump 1,000 points after Trump says U.S. and Iran have held ‘productive’ talks:
Dow futures jump 1,000 points after Trump says U.S. and Iran have held 'productive' talks: Live updates
The Dow and Nasdaq fell around 2% each last week, while the S&P 500 lost 1.5%.www.cnbc.com
Stock futures shot higher in a sudden move after President Donald Trump said the U.S. and Iran have held productive talks over the last two days and he was halting any strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures jumped 1,100 points, or 2.6% higher. S&P 500 futures jumped 2.7%, and Nasdaq-100 futures added 2.7%.
Those moves came as the Iran war entered its fourth week, with tensions escalating over the weekend. President Donald Trump threatened an attack on Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz — a key shipping route for oil and other energy products — isn’t reopened. Iran responded in turn said it would target U.S. infrastructure, including energy and desalination facilities in the Gulf, if the U.S. carried out its threat.
Who are we going to talk to? Don said everyone in Iran's leadership is dead.
If anything was predictable about the conflict trump got us in to it's that he would blink. Cuz despite he claims to the contrary he did not expect the impact of his ill-fated decision to attack Iran to go this badly with respect to the US economy/stock market.

Starting to look like the carter failure. Everytime. Its not the physical aspect either thats causing this. Iran has a 5th rate army that can easily be taken down. This is much deeper into principalities.

Yeah, that is probably what is taking place. Buy now, sell when the price goes back up.

Who needs an army when missiles and aircraft bombing get better results --- see only reason Israel succeeded in Gaza .
Although as American "armies" always lose , the discussion is somewhat academic when applied to US Zionist proxy forces .

GFY.
He told CNBC’s Joe Kernen in a phone call shortly after the post that “we are very intent on making a deal with Iran.”
However, Iranian state media, citing an unnamed “senior security official” in a post on Telegram countered Trump’s description of conversations, saying direct or indirect talks have not taken place between Washington and Tehran.
“There is been no negotiation and there is no negotiation, and with this kind of psychological warfare, neither the Strait of Hormuz will return to its pre-war conditions nor will there be peace in the energy markets,” state media reported the official as saying.
Trump tells CNBC 'we are very intent on making a deal' with Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he would order the military to postpone strikes on Iran's power plants and energy infrastructure for five days.
At times like these I begin to wonder if trump has arranged for a way to profit from how his actions or statements move the markets.
This happened a half hour ago:
Southern Utah; Trump's New Fuel Prices For Today:
Regular = $3.89
Midgrade = $4.19
Premium = $4.49
Diesel = $5.39
They just keep going up day by day. Never thought I would say this but maybe we were better of with Biden's fuel prices?

CNBC says that's exactly what happened. Insider trading
Volume in stock and oil futures surged minutes before Trump's market-turning post
The timing of the earlier volume spikes — across both equities and crude — caught the attention of traders.
www.cnbc.com
- At around 6:50 a.m. in New York, S&P 500 e-Mini futures trading on the CME recorded a sharp and isolated jump in volume.
- A similar pattern was observed in oil markets.
- Roughly 15 minutes later, at 7:05 a.m., Trump posted a market-moving announcement about Iran on Truth Social.
At around 6:50 a.m. in New York, S&P 500 e-Mini futures trading on the CME recorded a sharp and isolated jump in volume, breaking from an otherwise subdued premarket backdrop. With thin liquidity typical of early trading hours, the sudden burst stood out as one of the largest volume moments of the session up to that point.
A similar pattern was observed in oil markets. West Texas Intermediate May futures also saw a noticeable pickup in trading activity at roughly the same time, with a distinct volume spike interrupting otherwise quiet conditions.
Roughly 15 minutes later, at 7:05 a.m., Trump said on Truth Social that the U.S. and Iran had held talks and that he was halting planned strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. That announcement prompted an instant rally in risk assets, with S&P 500 futures soaring more than 2.5% before the opening bell. West Texas Intermediate futures dropped nearly 6% following the announcement.
The timing of the earlier volume spikes across both equities and crude caught the attention of traders, particularly given the absence of an obvious catalyst at the moment they occurred.
Early-morning futures markets are typically less liquid, which can make short bursts of buying and selling more noticeable than during regular trading hours. Still, the trades raised some eyebrows because whoever purchased a large amount of stock futures and sold or shorted crude futures at that moment made a lot of money just minutes later.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission declined to comment. The CME Group didn’t immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.
Algorithmic and macro-driven strategies can also generate rapid flows across asset classes without a single identifiable catalyst in early trading.

Is the point of your post that trump lied? BTW..........
AI Overview
On March 22, 2026, IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi told Face the Nation that military force alone cannot eliminate Iran's nuclear program, warning that significant infrastructure and enriched uranium stocks survived attacks. He stated that only a "nuclear war" could completely destroy it, stressing the need for diplomatic, negotiated frameworks.
