Original source

Stocks fell in choppy trading and oil rose as traders grappled with a wide range of possible outcomes for the war in the Middle East, with fighting continuing as President Donald Trump pushed for talks. Traders continue to juggle a barrage of headlines around the US-Israeli war against Iran after Trump signaled a possible end to hostilities on Monday following what he described as productive talks. The positive sentiment from those comments faded after the Wall Street Journal reported that US allies in the Persian Gulf are inching toward joining the fight against Tehran. The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won't find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards and Lizzy Burden.
