"I believe that on Friday if you'd asked me, I would have expected two weeks of volatility with markets trying to analyze every drib and drab of information coming out of the White House and I would have said that it would have been better to make a decision last week. So this will be reassuring, especially since it seems like a one and done situation and not as if (the US) is seeking a long, drawn out conflict," Malek said.Rong Ren Goh, Portfolio Manager, Eastspring Investments, Singapore said that with the prospects of a swift resolution now diminished, investors are likely to reprice risk across markets.Wall Street drifted to a mixed finish on Friday.

U.S. President Trump says he's open to regime change in Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that could he see Iran rejecting its government leadership, after officials in his administration stressed that the White House was not seeking a regime change. Also read: Israel-Iran conflict updates 'It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change', but if the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be a regime change?' Mr. Trump posted on social media. 'MIGA!!!' The statement marked something of a reversal from Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth's Sunday (June 23, 2025) morning news conference when he said that regime change was not part of the mission in the aerial bombardment of three Iranian nuclear sites.

Rupee gains 14 paise on Trump hint of no Iran action for now, equity flows

The Indian rupee edged higher to 86.58 per dollar on Friday, marking its first gain in six sessions, fueled by inflows into domestic equities. This appreciation occurred despite high crude oil prices and ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran. Market sentiment was buoyed by signals from US President Trump suggesting a delay in action against Iran. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The Indian rupee modestly strengthened Friday, its first advance in six days tracking inflows into domestic equities, to close at 86.58 per dollar. The rupee climbed 14 paise despite volatile oil prices and no immediate signs of a truce in the Israel-Iran strength in the rupee came after US President Donald Trump signalled to avoid any precipitate action on Iran. Rebalancing of the FTSE Russell index also led to some flows, traders said. The rupee traded between 86.54 and 86.67 to the dollar on Friday. Brent crude oil prices remained elevated at $77 per barrel, while the dollar index was at 98. A rise in crude oil prices is detrimental to inflation in India as the country is a large importer of the commodity. "Chances of rupee strengthening are very low while crude oil prices are this high. The gain we have seen today is all because of Trump's comments to postpone strikes on Iran," said Anil Bhansali, head of treasury at Finrex Treasury Reserve Bank of India was likely absent today and did not intervene, traders said."The rebalancing flows of the FTSE Russell Index did help, but dollar demand was strong too, which countered the inflow," a trader said. Foreign investors bought Indian equities worth ₹7,940.7 crore on Friday."The only positive we have seen is that FPIs are not large sellers in Indian equities," Bhansali said.

Israel vs Iran conflict: Three killed in central Iran after Israeli drone strike hits ambulance

The Israel-Iran conflict has escalated heavily over the past few days, and now a major and shocking development comes in from Iranian Students' News Agency. According to ISNA, a drone strike by Israel on Sunday hit an ambulance in central Iran, which resulted in the death of 3 people inside. These losses of lives come in as both countries cross 10 days of being at war against each other, which has seen missile and drone strikes from both sides. The three deaths included the driver, the patient, and the patient's companion, who succumbed to their injuries after their ambulance veered off course and hit a passing vehicle due to the impact from the drone strike. 'All occupants of the ambulance - including the driver, the patient, and the patient's companion - were martyred,' Hamidreza Mohammadi Fesharaki, the governor of Najafabad county in the central Isfahan province was quoted as telling ISNA. 'The impact of the drone caused the ambulance to veer off course and collide with a passing vehicle,' the statement continued. Drone strikes have now become a regular thing across both sides of the border, and have already resulted in multiple deaths. The new wave of strikes by Israel and Iran saw a major heightening after the United States entered this conflict with an armed response against Iran's nuclear facilities. The US was deliberating for the last few days about joining forces with Israel against Iran, and has finally pushed the first button. However, US officials are now claiming that Washington wants to sit with Iran for diplomatic talks after the attack on Iranian nuclear sites. In another interesting development, Pakistan was taken completely off-guard in regards to the United States' armed response against Iranian nuclear facilities. Within a day of nominating Donald Trump's name for the Nobel Peace Prize, Pakistan had to condemn the strikes the US had conducted against Iran's nuclear sites.
