What is wrong with stock market traders [View all]

Today, the Dow Jones rose 929 points because Trump announced that a deal to end the Iran war is coming soon, and traders jumped on it immediately. When a deal does not materialize, the market will just crash. Trump has done this several times. Why does the market keep falling for this? It does not provide any market stability.
