U.S. stock indices experienced a brief surge, with the Nasdaq turning positive. According to Jin10, U.S. media reports that U.S. President Donald Trump has requested Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to scale back military operations in Lebanon. This development comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region. The request from President Trump highlights the U.S. administration's involvement in seeking to de-escalate the situation. The market's reaction reflects investor sentiment towards potential changes in geopolitical dynamics. The impact of these discussions on future market movements remains to be seen.

Three European diplomats told Reuters on Thursday that NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has informed some member states that US President Trump hopes allies will make concrete commitments in the coming days to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. In recent weeks, Trump has repeatedly accused NATO of being a "paper tiger" and even threatened to withdraw from the 32-member transatlantic alliance. He believes that Washington's European allies, while enjoying US security guarantees, have failed to provide sufficient support for the US and Israel's bombing campaign in Iran. Currently, Britain is leading a coalition of about 40 countries attempting to develop a military and diplomatic plan to reopen and protect the Strait of Hormuz, but there are few signs of any substantial breakthrough in the near future. French President Macron said on Wednesday that about 15 countries are planning to jointly promote the resumption of navigation in the strait. (Jinshi)

The probability of U.S. President Donald Trump announcing the end of military action against Iran by April 21 has significantly decreased to 21%, according to Odaily. This marks a 22% drop in the past 24 hours, with the total trading volume for this event contract nearing $17 million. The contract stipulates that if President Trump, the U.S. government, or the military officially announces the end of the military action initiated on February 28, 2026, by the specified date (Eastern Time), the market will resolve as 'yes.' Otherwise, it will resolve as 'no.' Valid statements must clearly indicate the end of the action. Informal statements, anonymous sources, or leaked information do not qualify. However, Trump's public written statements, such as posts on his "Truth Social" account, and videos on his social media accounts are considered valid. The primary basis for market resolution is official statements from the U.S. government and/or its representatives, with additional consideration given to consensus from other credible reports. On the first day of a temporary ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, Israeli forces launched the largest airstrike against Hezbollah since the conflict began. Iran claimed this violated the ceasefire agreement, leading to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and threats of deterrent action against Israeli military targets. The White House announced that the first round of U.S.-Iran talks will take place on the 11th in Pakistan. However, Iran stated that three key ceasefire terms have been violated, undermining the "basis for negotiations." Despite this, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Saeed Khatibzadeh, confirmed that the Iranian delegation will attend the talks in Islamabad, Pakistan.
