Happy Monday. Markets were closed on Friday amid continued mixed messages regarding the timeline for a potential wind-down of the war in Iran.

As questions from the press began, Trump doubled down on his promise to take out critical power facilities and bridges across the country if an agreement isn't reached by tomorrow evening.
