Markets Whipsaw After Trump Delays Iran Strike Deadline | Open Interest 3/23/2026

Get a jump start on the US trading day with Matt Miller and Dani Burger on "Bloomberg Open Interest." President Trump hits pause, delaying strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure after what he calls “good” talks, even as Tehran flatly denies any negotiations ever happened. Markets reacting fast—airlines surge, oil plunges, and energy stocks take a hit. But is this calm before something bigger. Former State Department insider Aaron David Miller warns the strategy could backfire, pushing Iran closer to a nuclear weapon. And as tensions rise, a new front is already heating up—cyberwar. Check Point CEO Nadav Zafrir breaks down how Iran-linked attacks and AI-driven threats are exposing major vulnerabilities for US businesses.
