Vice President JD Vance is traveling to Switzerland this Friday to sign a tentative deal to end the war with Iran. With the announcement to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump said Friday is the day merchant ships can once again sail unimpeded through the major waterway. But questions still linger regarding how quickly commercial vessels can resume their journeys and whether Iran will permit free passage through this international waterway. Around 1,500 ships remain stranded inside the Persian Gulf, awaiting clearance to leave, according to industry analysts. In this picture obtained from Iran's ISNA news agency, residents fish from the shore as cargo and commercial vessels lie at anchor in the Strait of Hormuz off Bandar Abbas on June 8.

He may face questions about how confident he is that Israel won't take actions that could jeopardize the tentative agreement. You can watch the press conference live here at 10:30 AM ET. New Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is set to hold his first news conference this afternoon. Trump chose Warsh to lead the central bank in the hopes that he would advocate for lower interest rates. This surge is mainly driven by rising energy prices linked to the U.S. war with Iran.
