US stock market outlook: Will S&P 500, Dow Jones, Nasdaq crash or rise amidst Iran Israel war?
Dow Jones
, and
Nasdaq
-- on Monday are bound to react as President Trump's decision to join Israel's military campaign against Iran represents a major escalation of the conflict.
Stock market experts have said that next two weeks are crucial for the Wall Street as all eyes will be on US Dollar rate and oil prices.
Mark Malek, Chief Investment Officer, Siebert Financial, NYC said that this is going to be very positive for the stock market. "I believe that on Friday if you'd asked me, I would have expected two weeks of volatility with markets trying to analyze every drib and drab of information coming out of the White House and I would have said that it would have been better to make a decision last week. So this will be reassuring, especially since it seems like a one and done situation and not as if (the US) is seeking a long, drawn out conflict," Malek said.
Rong Ren Goh, Portfolio Manager, Eastspring Investments, Singapore said that with the prospects of a swift resolution now diminished, investors are likely to reprice risk across markets.
Wall Street drifted to a mixed finish on Friday. S&P 500 fell 0.2 per cent to close out a second straight week of modest losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.1 per cent, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.5 per cent. S&P 500 fell 13.03 points to 5,967.84. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 35.16 to 42,206.82, and the Nasdaq composite fell 98.86 to 19,447.41.

Zelenskiy to Meet Trump Monday as Putin Doesn't Budge on War
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will meet Donald Trump on Monday as he and European allies push for a trilateral summit with Vladimir Putin despite signs the Russian leader isn't open to concessions to end the war in Ukraine. 'Ukraine reaffirms its readiness to work with maximum effort to achieve peace,' Zelenskiy said in a social media post after a call with Trump on Saturday. Trump confirmed the Ukrainian president's visit to Washington in a Truth Social post, and said a meeting with Putin and Zelenskiy could be scheduled 'if all works out.' Zelenskiy and European leaders spoke with Trump as the US president flew back from Friday's talks in Alaska with Putin that failed to deliver a path to end the war, currently halfway through its fourth year. Still, Trump called his meeting productive, and signaled he would tell Zelenskiy to make a deal. Trump said on the call that while it's up to Ukraine to decide on what to do with its territory, Putin's stance hasn't changed — he still wants Kyiv to cede control of the entire Donbas region in Ukraine's east, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition on anonymity. Zelenskiy has repeatedly ruled out giving up all of Donetsk and Luhansk, which Moscow's forces only partially control and have so far failed to take militarily. Russia would halt advancing its claims over the parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson region it doesn't now control, effectively freezing the battle-lines there, the people said. Trump told the leaders that he was prepared to contribute to guaranteeing Ukraine's security as long as it didn't involve NATO, they added. The president suggested Putin would be OK with that, the people said. The US president said in the post that his meeting with Putin and the call with Zelenskiy both went 'very well.' Trump wrote that 'it was determined by all' that the best way to end the war was to achieve a peace agreement and 'not a mere Ceasefire Agreement.' The statement comes after Trump said previously that a ceasefire would be his key demand of Putin at the summit. He also threatened to walk out of the meeting and to impose new tough punitive measures if it wasn't met. Monday's visit to the White House raises the stakes for Zelenskiy, who's had an uneasy relationship with Trump. His last visit in the Oval Office in February descended in a shouting match between the two leaders and briefly led to the US pausing military aid to Ukraine, which undercut the country's fighting capabilities. Trump and Zelenskiy have since met repeatedly, including at the NATO leaders summit in Hague and at the Vatican, and patched up their ties. European officials welcomed Trump's efforts during their call with the US president. They also reiterated the need for a trilateral meeting between Trump, Putin, and Zelenskiy in a statement released on Saturday. That statement made no mention of earlier demands for an immediate ceasefire as a first step toward negotiations. The topic of a trilateral summit wasn't raised in Alaska, Russia's state TV channel Vesti reported on Saturday, citing Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov. European leaders also said that it will be up to Ukraine to make decisions on its territory. 'International borders must not be changed by force,' according to the statement, signed by the leaders of France, Italy, Germany, Finland, Poland the UK and the president of the European Commission. Some European officials are concerned that Trump will now pressure Zelenskiy to make territorial concessions to reach a deal, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. 'President Trump's resolve to get a peace deal is vital,' said EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. 'But the harsh reality is that Russia has no intention of ending this war anytime soon.' Putin continues to drag out negotiations and 'left Anchorage without making any commitments to end the killing,' Kallas said. In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity after the Alaskan summit, Trump said that there were a few sticking points remaining after his discussion with Putin, even as he cautioned that the two hadn't reached a deal, and shifted his focus to Zelenskiy, saying it was up to him to resolve the war. 'We are clear that Ukraine must have ironclad security guarantees to effectively defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity' and 'no limitations should be placed on Ukraine's armed forces or on its cooperation with third countries,' the statement from European leaders said. 'Russia cannot have a veto against Ukraine's pathway to EU and NATO.' Meanwhile, Ukraine's Air Force said on Telegram Saturday morning that Russia launched 85 drones and a ballistic missile at Ukrainian territory overnight, underscoring Moscow's intention to press on with the war. 'On the day of negotiations, the Russians are killing as well. And that speaks volumes,' Zelenskiy said on X. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said on Telegram that Friday's Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska showed that negotiations are possible even as the fighting continues.

Zelenskiy Says He'll Meet With Trump in Washington on Monday
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he'll travel to Washington to meet with US counterpart Donald Trump on Monday to discuss the end of Russia's invasion, as he and European allies push for a trilateral summit with Vladimir Putin. 'Ukraine once again confirms that it is ready to work productively to achieve peace,' Zelenskiy said in a social media post after a call with Trump on Saturday, as the US president returned to Washington from a meeting with Putin in Alaska. 'We support President Trump's proposal to hold a trilateral meeting of Ukraine-US-Russia.' Zelenskiy also reiterated that Europe should be part of the talks. Zelenskiy and European leaders spoke with Trump as the US president returned to Washington from talks in Alaska on Friday with the Russian president that failed to deliver a path to end the war, currently in its fourth year. Still, Trump called his meeting with Putin productive and said he would tell Zelenskiy to make a deal. Trump said on the call that while it's up to Ukraine to decide on what to do with its territory, Putin's stance hasn't changed — he still wants Kyiv to cede control of the entire Donbas region in Ukraine's east, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition on anonymity.

Russia would halt advancing its claims over the parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson region it doesn't now control, effectively freezing the battle-lines there. Trump's main goal, as conveyed on the call, is to achieve a quick peace deal rather than a ceasefire, the person said. European officials welcomed Trump's efforts during their phone conversation with the US president. They also reiterated their call for a trilateral meeting between Trump, Putin, and Zelenskiy, according to people familiar with the discussion. The topic of holding a trilateral summit hasn't been raised during the summit in Alaska, Russia's state TV channel Vesti reported on Saturday, citing Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov. European leaders again said that it will be up to Ukraine to make decisions on its territory, and that the current line of contact must be the starting point of negotiations. In their call with Trump, which lasted over an hour, they reaffirmed Ukraine's need for robust security guarantees and pledged continued military assistance. Some European officials are concerned that Trump will now pressure Zelenskiy to make territorial concessions to reach a deal, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

Trump Sets Up Zelenskiy Meeting as Putin Renews Land Demands
Donald Trump will host President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Washington on Monday after the US president abandoned his push for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and Vladimir Putin again insisted that Kyiv give up land in peace talks. Trump told the Ukrainian president and European leaders in a call that Putin wants Kyiv to cede control of the entire Donbas region in Ukraine's east, renewing his longstanding demand, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition on anonymity. They spoke as Trump flew back from Friday's high-profile summit with Putin in Alaska, which failed to deliver a path to end the war, currently in its fourth year. Trump called his meeting productive, then signaled he would tell Zelenskiy to make a deal, piling more pressure on the Ukrainian leader. After the Alaska summit, several senior European diplomats expressed angst over the outcome, noting Putin appeared to have gained the most from the meeting. They pointed to Putin's symbolic win for securing an invitation to the US and the Russian leader apparently prevailing on Trump to shift focus to an overarching peace settlement without seeking an immediate ceasefire. European allies from the so-called coalition of the willing countries that pledged support to Kyiv will hold a video call on Sunday, France said on Saturday. Some European leaders may also join Zelenskiy in person for his meeting with Trump on Monday, said one of the people. Zelenskiy has repeatedly ruled out giving up all of Donetsk and Luhansk, which Moscow's forces only partially control and have so far failed to take militarily. Russia would halt advancing its claims over the parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson region it doesn't now control, effectively freezing the battle-lines there, the people said. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Saturday voiced his doubts about the Russian leader's intentions about ending the war in Ukraine. 'Putin has promised a lot so far, signed many agreements. I don't believe it so easily. But at least, it's the beginning of a conversation,' Merz said in an interview with RTL/ntv. Trump told European leaders that he was prepared to contribute to guaranteeing Ukraine's security as long as it didn't involve NATO, they added. The president suggested Putin would be OK with that, the people said. 'Ukraine reaffirms its readiness to work with maximum effort to achieve peace,' Zelenskiy said in a social media post after a call with Trump on Saturday.

The statement comes after Trump said previously that a ceasefire would be his key demand of Putin at the summit. He also threatened to walk out of the meeting and to impose new tough punitive measures if it wasn't met. Trump signaled on Friday he wasn't in a rush to implement fresh penalties on Russia's trading partners. Monday's visit to the White House will be a pivotal moment for Zelenskiy, who's had an uneasy relationship with Trump. His last visit in the Oval Office in February descended in a shouting match between the two leaders and briefly led to the US pausing military aid to Ukraine, which undercut the country's fighting capabilities. Trump and Zelenskiy have since met repeatedly, including at the NATO leaders summit in Hague and at the Vatican, and patched up their ties.

'But the harsh reality is that Russia has no intention of ending this war anytime soon.' Putin continues to drag out negotiations and 'left Anchorage without making any commitments to end the killing,' Kallas said. Putin told his government on Saturday that the conversation with Trump in Alaska was 'very frank and meaningful,' the Kremlin said on its website. 'We, of course, respect the position of the American administration, which sees the need for a speedy end to military action,' he said. 'We would also like this and would like to move to resolving all issues by peaceful means.' In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity after the Alaskan summit, Trump said that there were a few sticking points remaining after his discussion with Putin, even as he cautioned that the two hadn't reached a deal, and shifted his focus to Zelenskiy, saying it was up to him to resolve the war.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's Air Force said on Telegram Saturday morning that Russia launched 85 drones and a ballistic missile at Ukrainian territory overnight, underscoring Moscow's intention to press on with the war. 'We anticipate that in the coming days the Russian army may try to increase pressure and strikes against Ukrainian positions in order to create more favorable political circumstances for talks with global actors,' Zelenskiy said on X.
