Happy Friday. Markets are already moving with a sharp pullback despite the news received. President Trump announced that the US Navy is lifting its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and is meeting in the situation room to make a final determination on the Iran deal.
The major news is the proposed US-Iran peace deal which includes a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. The program is being called the international investment fund which the US would facilitate in the final deal. This comes after Iran demanded reparations to end the war.
The military operation in Iran cost $70 billion in taxpaying dollars to initiate. The proposed deal would add $30 billion in restitution, bringing the total to $370 billion. Taxpaying Americans will face raised taxes to cover these costs.
The NASDAQ market rallied to highs of 741 but has since pulled back. Markets are currently up about a quarter of a percent. Market sentiment remains strong on Friday. A break of support or break of structure could lead to a pullback.
At overbought levels, the focus should be on understanding position size management rather than avoiding investments. Investors need to know when to be aggressive and when to be conservative. Being overleveraged or using margin at elevated levels risks margin calls during pullbacks. The issue is not being invested, but investing aggressively during elevated times due to FOMO and then being forced to sell during slight pullbacks.
