Frozen in place. But for how long?

Across the board, from stock futures to oil and bonds, markets are holding their breath -- broadly unchanged for now.

It is a paralyzing tug-of-war:

On one side, talk of a possible 45-day ceasefire; on the other, threats and counter-threats from the three main warring parties over the weekend.

This unstable equilibrium won't last forever.

Possible catalysts include President Trump’s 1 p.m. remarks, talks ahead of tomorrow’s 8 p.m. deadline, and the inherent unpredictability of the War’s developments on the ground.
