Trump's Decisions in July 2026 Impacted Global Markets

Donald Trump made three significant decisions between July 6 and July 11, 2026, that affected global markets. First, he declared the ceasefire with Iran invalid, and following attacks on commercial ships and American facilities in the Persian Gulf, U.S. forces attacked Iranian targets. These developments led to an increase in oil prices; Brent crude rose by 5.2% and West Texas Intermediate by 4.4%, reaching the highest level in two weeks. U.S. and European stock indices fell, and U.S. Treasury yields rose due to concerns about inflation. Trump later announced that talks with Iran would continue. Second, he ordered a halt to trade and travel with Spain, accusing Madrid of underfunding defense and obstructing U.S. anti-Iran policy. In response, Spain's IBEX 35 index fell by 2.6%, and shares of Santander, BBVA, and Inditex also saw significant declines. Third, at the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump agreed that Ukraine could produce Patriot systems, and U.S. senators announced an agreement with his administration to intensify sanctions on Russia, which could impact the energy market and defense industries.
