Samsung Electronics rose 10%, and SK Hynix rose 9%.June 12 (CNN) – President Trump claimed today (June 11, Eastern Time) that the United States has “ended” its war with Iran, after declaring that the two sides had agreed to a “very strong memorandum of understanding” to stop the fighting. Speaking at a phone rally supporting Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones’s gubernatorial campaign, Trump said, “I don’t know if you’ve heard, but today we ended the war with Iran. They’ve agreed never to have nuclear weapons. That’s what we’re sticking to, that’s the whole goal, that’s 95% of the agreement.” Trump’s remarks came earlier today after he canceled further strikes against Iran, hinting at an agreement on Real Social Media without elaborating on its terms. Iran has not confirmed any agreement.Futures News, June 12th - According to foreign media reports, Malaysian crude palm oil futures on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange (BMD) are likely to open lower on Friday morning, following the decline in external markets. International crude oil futures fell after US President Trump announced on Thursday the cancellation of plans to strike Iran. In electronic trading on Friday, Brent crude futures fell further, coupled with a lower close in Chicago soybean oil futures, which will drag down the early performance of Malaysian crude palm oil futures. Malaysian palm oil inventories exceeding market expectations are also unfavorable for prices. Data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) shows that Malaysian palm oil inventories at the end of May were 2.428 million tons, a 5.15% increase month-on-month, higher than analysts forecasts of 2.36 million tons. However, El Niño weather may lead to drier conditions in Southeast Asia than normal, threatening palm oil production and potentially providing support for palm oil prices.On June 12th, according to foreign media reports, Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) soybean futures closed lower on Thursday, with the benchmark contract down 0.7%, hitting a four-month low.

Stormy weather in the Midwest agricultural region brought widespread rainfall, which will promote early crop growth. Following U.S. President Trumps announcement on Thursday of the cancellation of the "strike on Iran" plan, international crude oil futures fell, also putting downward pressure on the soybean and soybean oil markets. The U.S. Department of Agricultures supply and demand report showed that the 2025/26 and 2026/27 U.S. soybean ending stocks forecasts remained unchanged at 340 million bushels and 310 million bushels, respectively. Analysts had previously expected a slight downward revision to this years soybean ending stocks.On June 12, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the 11th that Russian forces had taken control of two settlements in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions.
