Yesterday, Trump himself said VP JD Vance was on his way to Pakistan but that turned out not to be true. Now, Axios reports that he’s still in Washington, citing a White House official.

“Additional policy meetings are taking place at the White House today in which the Vice President will participate,” the official said.

Now I think this could be OpSec as Vance doesn’t want to be vulnerable if the ceasefire breaks down but it’s not a great sign.

There were air raid sirens in Israel a short time ago but those were determined to be a false alarm.

The oil market can show you how the sentiment is developing today.
