On the news front, the U.S. and Iran have agreed to continue negotiations aimed at reaching a longer-term ceasefire agreement. The next round of face-to-face talks is expected to be held before the current ceasefire expires, potentially in Islamabad, Pakistan. Iranian President Pezeshkian expressed willingness to continue negotiations with the U.S. within the framework of international law and to abide by the ceasefire terms. Several NATO member states, including Spain, the UK, and Turkey, have refused to participate in the U.S. blockade of Iranian maritime traffic, advocating for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. A series of密集signals indicate that U.S.-Iran tensions are shifting from the brink of military confrontation to the track of diplomatic negotiation. This shift has been immediately reflected in global financial markets, driving up prices of risk assets while causing oil prices to retreat.
