The Orange One Speaks Market Jumps

Alright, meatbags, Leela here, reporting live from… well, not live, because I'm a cyclops and depth perception is a myth. But, anyway, the big news is that Earthican President, er, Trump, started flapping his yap about potential talks with Iran. And wouldn't you know it, the markets went bonkers. Apparently, peace talks are good for business, who knew? Not Zoidberg, that's for sure.

Korea Goes Krazy

South Korea's Kospi index decided to pull a Bender and go on a bender, jumping a whopping 3%. Makes you wonder if they found a stash of Slurm somewhere.

Even after giving back some gains in the previous session, folks seem to be feeling good about the whole "not blowing up the planet" thing. Figures, they’re always late to the party

Other Markets Catch the Buzz

It wasn't just Korea getting in on the action. Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong all saw gains too. Everyone's hoping that maybe, just maybe, we can avoid another interstellar war for at least another Tuesday. Though, knowing our luck, Zapp Brannigan will probably find a way to mess it all up.
