Asia-Pacific markets are set to open higher Tuesday, after United States President Donald Trump announced that Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire.
“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE ... for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
