Dow Jones04-24 19:39

1139 GMT - Bitcoin turns higher but only modestly as investors digest the latest developments in the Iran war. President Trump said Israel and Lebanon will extend their cease-fire by three weeks. However, he suggested he was in no rush to agree a peace deal with Iran, keeping investors cautious on risky assets. Despite continuing uncertainties, bitcoin has risen about 30% since its low in early February, LSEG data show. Some profit-taking could creep in, particularly as bitcoin is yet to return above $80,000, Trade Nation's David Morrison says in a note. Bitcoin rises 0.5% to $78,273, according to LSEG.(renae.dyer@wsj.com)
