WS #6369

Multiple high-significance developments are converging in this window. First, the White House formally declared the Iran war 'terminated' to Congress on the 60-day War Powers deadline, arguing the ceasefire resets the clock. This is corroborated by NYT, Al Jazeera, and multiple wire services. However, Trump simultaneously announced a 25% tariff on EU autos, escalating trade tensions. Separately, Spirit Airlines is reportedly preparing to shut down as early as Saturday after failing to secure a $500M bailout, with rising jet fuel costs from the Iran war cited as a key factor. The GameStop-EBay acquisition rumor (WSJ, Seeking Alpha, Reddit) is gaining traction. Apple's Mac Mini price hike and strong earnings (record high) provide a bullish tech counter-narrative. The Pentagon's plan to withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany adds a geopolitical dimension. Oil prices remain elevated with Brent above $126, but gold gains on hopes for Iran talks. The dominant narrative is a fragile Iran ceasefire with mixed signals: war 'terminated' but tariffs and troop withdrawals suggest ongoing tensions. The Spirit Airlines shutdown is the most actionable near-term event.
