U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to restrict military operations in Lebanon to 'surgical' strikes, according to media reports.
The comments were made as ongoing ceasefire talks between Israel and Lebanon show little progress, raising concerns about a broader regional escalation.
The market reaction has been muted so far, with no immediate shifts in major indices or commodities.
However, the situation remains closely monitored by investors, particularly in sectors sensitive to geopolitical instability.
The stalled ceasefire and heightened rhetoric in the region underscore the fragility of the current diplomatic landscape.
With no clear resolution in sight, the potential for renewed conflict remains a key risk for global markets, especially in energy and defense sectors.
