Iran War: US Awaits Response to Peace Plan, Tehran Keeps Up Attacks | The Opening Trade 3/25/2026

Stocks clawed back some losses while bonds rallied and oil prices eased as the Trump administration stepped up efforts to bring the war with Iran to a close.

Traders are finding some relief after weeks of headline-driven volatility that have left the S&P 500 on track for its biggest monthly loss in a year. Despite Wednesday’s rebound, investors remain wary as Iran kept up attacks on neighboring states and several officials signaled that the Islamic Republic isn’t ready to negotiate.

The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won’t find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards and Lizzy Burden.
