What This Means
Trump stated following a meeting with a Russian representative that a settlement between Russia and Ukraine is close, without detailing terms or timeline. If negotiations advance toward a ceasefire, energy markets ease as supply-chain risks from the conflict diminish, and safe-haven demand softens as geopolitical tension recedes.
