US President Donald Trump said on Monday morning the US and Iran were discussing ways to end the current Mideast conflict with gamblers taking notice. 

  • Trump Says Iran and US Both 'Want to Make a Deal' and Says They'll Talk Today - With more than $20,000 in trading volume at Kalshi, nearly a quarter of those trading believe a ceasefire in the US-Iran conflict could come as early as March 31.  This comes after US President Donald Trump says the US and Iran have held talks on the "complete and total resolution of hostilities" in the Middle East.  He says he will "postpone any and all strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure" for a five day period.
     
  • Dow Jumps 1,100 points After Trump Says U.S. and Iran Have Held ‘Productive’ Talks - The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 1,117 points, or 2.4%. The S&P 500 rose 2.2%, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 2.4%. Before Trump’s comments, which he posted on Truth Social on Monday morning.  Prior to that post, Polymarket traders were only giving the Dow a 16% chance of being up on Monday compared to greater than 90% after Trump's Truth Social post.

In a post on TruthSocial all in capital letters, reproduced here in full and verbatim, he says: "I AM PLEASE TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

"BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WITCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"

The Down was still up nearly 950 points as of 11:39 am ET.
