What’s Up w/Stocks, Cryptos, Gold & Silver? Brian Mudd’s Market Update April 13th, 2026

As we’ve entered the seveth week of the Iran war, we do so with a ceasefire in place – however we’re also entering this week without a peace deal as 21 hours of negotiations over the weekend failed to produce progress – leaving more questions than answers about what comes next with Iran.
