(Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy leaves the White House early on Friday after a controversial oval office with President Donald Trump, the White House official said.
Zeletskiy is not “is not ready to peace if America is involved,” said US President Donald Trump in the post of truth on Friday after a disputed meeting between leaders in an oval office.
“I decided that the President Zeletskyy is not ready for peace if America is involved because he feels that our involvement gives him a great advantage in negotiations. I do not want an advantage, I want peace.

“The markets will continue to focus more on customs – how much, who, when – and what it means for business and consumers. Most US investors (and voters) pay attention to what will hit the pocket book closer to home and Russia/Ukraine has been one of the many global reflections on the edges for a very long time. ”
“On the other hand, European markets could be more affected, as it would seem to be increasingly clear that the defense of Ukraine and/or negotiations with Russia would be left to them.”

“The Market Initially Sold Off Because It Was and Heated and Conversation, WHICH IS NOT USULY AND GOOD THING BETWEEN TWO Leaders of the World, Especially When It Has to With and War. The News Zelenka is Considered an Ally of the Us.

“As an investor, you have to wait and see what the result is, rather jump to some conclusion.” Trump desperately wants to do something, Zeletskiy wants to do something and Putin does it too. The question is, where will it settle? We don't know. The reaction on the market was predictable when people began to see this show, the market sold. Now that Zeletskiy has left Wh, he is seated. ”
“The Trump beer about Ukraine's policy:“ A lot of uncertainty is created in this matter. And the uncertainty is something that is being worked. They (investors) try to see, without much information where things are going. ”

“This is terrible and very risk, but it is very bull for European defense manufacturers, because they will have to arm themselves through domestic producers. We bought these shares for the first time in January.”

“I do not think it hurts so much on the market because of what he said, but the unconventional nature has evoked for investors how unpredictable and uncertain that Trump's administration can be. The market likes certainty. A sign of lack of predictability and more traditional approaches to diplomacy. ”

“The S&P 500 begins to see its first Pullback 2025. The surface is S&P -5% discount on heights, but there are dramatic movements under the hood of the index.” The point is: a lot of movement looks powered by “positioning rest” versus “basic distress”. And looking at the revenue season from last quarter helps us to verify this idea because the spread between MAG 7 and the remaining 493 earnings has seen its narrowest gap from Q1 2023.
“But now that the earnings season is essentially over, when NVDA is behind us, I would expect that many politicians from Washington DC will dictate some close volatility on the market.”

“It's worrying, but maybe it's part of Trump's way to negotiate… The great driving force of the markets is now uncertainty at many different levels, and that's just another part of it. We seemed to move to progress in a peace store or a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, and maybe we'll get now, so we have to get into the settlement to get into the dust. ”
