Ukraine has accepted a 30-day ceasefire plan proposed by the United States, marking a significant diplomatic development in the ongoing conflict. According to a joint statement from Ukrainian and U.S. delegations following a high-level meeting in Saudi Arabia, the ceasefire implementation is contingent on Russia’s approval. While Moscow has yet to issue an official response, the U.S. and Ukraine reaffirmed their commitment to diplomatic negotiations.
As part of the agreement, the United States has decided to lift the temporary pause on military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine. U.S. officials emphasized that this move aims to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities while maintaining diplomatic channels for further dialogue. The global financial markets responded swiftly to the news, reflecting renewed optimism among investors.
Market Relief: Crypto and Stocks Bounce Back
The ceasefire announcement not only influenced geopolitical discourse but also impacted financial markets. A notable de-escalation in trade tensions between Canada and the U.S. followed suit. Ontario Premier Doug Ford confirmed the suspension of the 25% surcharge on electricity exports imposed in response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods. This decision came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump had threatened to increase tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imports to 50%. However, the easing of tensions alleviated market concerns, triggering a rebound in equities and cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin and Crypto Rally Amid Positive Sentiment
Wall Street saw a positive shift as the Nasdaq surged 1.25%, and the S&P 500 gained 0.4%. The crypto market also reacted strongly to the news. Bitcoin (BTC), which had dipped to $76,000 earlier in the day, saw a 7% surge, climbing to $83,300. Ethereum (ETH) recorded a 5.6% increase, while Solana (SOL) skyrocketed by 10%. Investors are closely monitoring Russia’s response to the ceasefire agreement, as its stance could further dictate market trends.
