Market Relief After US-Iran Ceasefire Before Trump Deadline | The Opening Trade 4/8/2026

Stocks surged and oil dropped below $100 after the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire in exchange for Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The deal buys time for the two sides to potentially reach a longer agreement to end the six-week conflict, which has killed thousands of people and sparked a global energy crisis.

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 Guy Johnson.
