What to know:

  • In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, Ukraine has agreed to a U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in its war with Russia. 🎭
  • But hold your horses! The pact is contingent on Russian acceptance. Spoiler alert: they haven’t weighed in yet! 🐴
  • U.S. stock markets, once drowning in red ink, have suddenly decided to wear green after the news, and crypto is throwing a party! 🎊

What was shaping up to be another gloomy day in the markets has done a complete 180 in Tuesday afternoon U.S. trading. Thanks to Ukraine’s agreement to a Trump administration proposal for a 30-day ceasefire, the mood has shifted faster than a cat on a hot tin roof! 🐱🔥

Russia, the silent partner in this drama, has yet to weigh in. The agreement will hinge on their acceptance, according to a joint statement from Ukraine and the U.S. after a meeting of their delegations in Saudi Arabia. Who knew diplomacy could be so suspenseful? 🍿

As part of the agreement, the U.S. will immediately lift a pause on intelligence sharing and military assistance to Ukraine. Because nothing says “trust” like sharing secrets, right? 🤫

Markets, which were already nursing yesterday’s major losses, were again sharply lower prior to the news. But lo and behold! The Nasdaq has bounced back into the green by 1.25%, and the S&P 500 has followed suit with a 0.4% rise. It’s like watching a phoenix rise from the ashes! 🔥🦅

Crypto markets have also decided to join the celebration, with Bitcoin (BTC) now up by 7% over the past 24 hours, soaring to $83,300 after a dramatic dip to $76,000 overnight. Ether (ETH) is up 5.6%, and Solana’s (SOL) is partying even harder with a 10% increase. Who knew digital coins could be so dramatic? 💸🎈
