The U.S.-Iran ceasefire will not expire on Wednesday afternoon after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a Truth Social post Tuesday afternoon that came minutes after stocks settled, President Trump said he was extending the truce\u2014citing \u201cthe fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so\u201d and a request from Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan to \u201chold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal.\u201d The naval blockade of Iranian ports stays on. The after-the-bell post closed out a day of ceasefire whiplash that had started before the opening one.<\/p>\n

Trump began the morning on CNBC\u2019s Squawk Box, telling viewers the U.S. was \u201cgoing to end up with a great deal,\u201d adding, \u201cI think they have no choice,\u201d and said he did not plan to extend the ceasefire. Stock futures rose on diplomatic optimism as the Dow opened up 0.52% and the S&P 500 up 0.11%.<\/p>\n

What followed next turned markets upside down. Vice President JD Vance was scheduled to leave for Islamabad Tuesday morning to lead the second round of peace talks\u2014joined by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the same team that ran the unsuccessful first round on April 11. But Vance\u2019s plane never took off, and soon the New York Times reported that the trip was on hold, awaiting Iran\u2019s demands. Iranian representatives had insisted all weekend that they did not and would not agree to a second round of talks while they were being blockaded.<\/p>\n

Stocks fell on the New York Times report. Trump, in the Squawk Box interview from the morning, had ruled that out: \u201cWe\u2019re not going to open the strait [of Hormuz] until we have a final deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

By the end of the day, he was singing a different tune, saying he would \u201ctherefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded,\u201d Trump wrote, \u201cone way or the other.\u201d<\/p>\n
