Markets are big money big money don't move one place to another just like that it requires volatility and events.
Make ur bets Also have look futures options contracts volume and data to see on where larger funds making bets on.
One thing for sure trump buddies Will get rich again regardless of outcome.
Trump have turned his political power into manipulation of markets for sure his own buddies knows the outcome and are well priced in on right bet.
Also a lot retail buyers on defence stocks....well would be logical to collapse those and shake out retail to sell in loss.

A bit like the boy who cried wolf, people are starting to consider Trumps threats and demands to be pretty shallow - you cannot trust a word that he says, because he has so often changed back in a very short time. Unless somehow he magically walks away with an agreement that Ukraine can accept, which is highly unlikely, then very little is going to happen with this meeting. Putin has no interest in ending the war, but Trump has been riling him up lately and this may be a way to show that Trump has little influence over him. Economically speaking everything is likely to be the same today as it is tomorrow, except the USA might become a little bit poorer if Trump gives away Alaskan resources in return for nothing, as he claimed he would previously.
