📊 Quick Market Recap

🌍 Macro

Trump: US-Iran talks possible this weekend. The president said a permanent ceasefire deal could be reached before the current two-week truce expires, adding that Iran has agreed to 20 years without nuclear weapons and that a peace deal would bring "free oil and the Strait of Hormuz" to the US. Markets are rallying on the optimism.
