Talks with Russia/Ukraine continue. The U.S. calls for, ideally, a 30-day unconditional ceasefire. Hopefully, an acceptable ceasefire will be observed, and both Countries will be held accountable for respecting the sanctity of these direct negotiations. If the ceasefire is not respected, the U.S. and its partners will impose further sanctions. Thousands of young soldiers are dying on a weekly basis, and everybody should want it to STOP. I do, and the United States of America does, also. As President, I will stay committed to securing Peace between Russia and Ukraine, together with the Europeans, and a Lasting Peace it will be! This ceasefire must ultimately build toward a Peace Agreement. It can all be done very quickly, and I will be available on a moment’s notice if my services are needed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Markets yawn at Trump's ceasefire proposal, then politely clap for 10 minutes. SP500: up 0.02% in 1 minute, 0.04% in 5, 0.05% in 10. Dow Jones: similar sleepy gains, maxing at 0.04%. BTC and ETH woke up slightly more: BTC +0.56% initially, ETH +1.16% over 10 minutes. TRUMP (the ticker, not the man) outperformed with a 0.96% rise, because irony loves a self-referential asset. Volatility was milder than a diplomat's cough. Compare to April's similar post (66% similarity): SP500 then rallied 0.14% over 10 minutes, while May's "productive call" post saw BTC swing from -0.12% to +0.13%. Today's moves? Barely a ripple in the geopolitical teacup. The real takeaway: markets treat Trump's peace pledges like a middling earnings report—polite applause, then back to staring at the Fed.
