Pressure index nudges Trump toward Iran de-escalation as markets rally

TL;DR
Deutsche Bank's proprietary 'pressure index' blends U.S. Treasury yields, shifts in Trump’s popularity, inflation expectations, and S&P 500 performance to gauge pressure on President Trump to de-escalate with Iran. The latest signal coincides with the White House touting talks with Iran (which Tehran denies), and a market rally as major indices jump after Trump said he would pause strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure for five days.
