President Trump indicated that a nuclear agreement with Iran is substantially drafted, while personally placing the odds of a final deal at fifty-fifty. Trump is also planning calls with regional heads of state as diplomacy continues. Reports vary on how far along talks actually are, with at least one outlet characterizing a deal as already announced while others describe it as still in progress.
A credible Iran deal would likely push oil prices lower by opening the door to increased Iranian crude exports — potentially 1–2 million additional barrels per day hitting global markets. That's a headwind for energy stocks and oil-linked assets, but a tailwind for consumers, transport sectors, and inflation expectations. Reduced Middle East tension also tends to compress the geopolitical risk premium priced into broader markets.
Ongoing: Direct US-Iran negotiating rounds (next session timing unconfirmed). Watch for IAEA verification announcements. Oil market reaction to any formal deal signing. June 2025 OPEC+ meeting for supply response.
