Washington Signals Swift Timeline for Iran Operation

US official said that achievable objectives of Operation Epic Fury are expected to last about six weeks. The White House says it expects U.S. military objectives in Iran to be achieved within four to six weeks , emphasizing that Operation Epic Fury is progressing as planned. According to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the campaign has already weakened Iran’s naval capabilities and sharply reduced missile attacks, putting the U.S. “well on its way” toward its strategic goals.  The operation, now in its second week, focuses on dismantling Iran’s ballistic missile infrastructure, degrading its navy, and limiting its pathway to nuclear weapons. Officials maintain that U.S. stockpiles and resources are sufficient to sustain the mission through its projected timeline.  As regional tensions escalate, Washington continues to frame the operation as both achievable and time‑bound, reinforcing its confidence in meeting objectives by early April.

Wall Street Gains on Anticipation of Inflation Report and Fed Chair’s Event

 

Ahead of crucial inflation data and a public event by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Wall Street saw a rise in premarket trading on Wednesday. Investors are keenly awaiting Friday’s inflation report, which the Fed will closely monitor for its next rate policy decision. Powell’s subsequent webcast discussion at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco is expected to provide insights into potential rate cuts, with speculation of a reduction as early as May.

The U.S. economy has shown resilience despite higher interest rates aimed at controlling inflation, with the S&P 500 on track for its fifth consecutive winning month after a 9% surge this year. However, recent reports suggest a bumpier path in reducing inflation, with some costs exceeding expectations.

Amidst this economic backdrop, Trump Media & Technology Group’s shares soared after its IPO, despite financial losses and limited user growth. Meanwhile, global shares, particularly in Japan, were influenced by the yen’s decline to a 34-year low, prompting discussions among Japan’s monetary authorities.

Investors remain cautious as they consider whether the market has become overvalued after its recent rally, and analysts emphasize the need for broader profit growth to sustain current stock prices.
