- The United States and Iran are engaged in indirect diplomatic negotiations following a three-day military pause, though Tehran denies direct talks and ceasefire reports.
- President Trump cancelled a planned military strike on Iran in favor of diplomatic channels, causing Brent crude oil prices to initially drop.
- However, oil prices have since rebounded as tensions persist over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping chokepoint for global oil supplies.
- The situation remains fluid, with ambiguity about whether the military pause will hold and whether meaningful negotiations are actually underway.
- Markets are reacting to each development, with energy prices swinging on reports of escalation or de-escalation.
- The key uncertainty is whether Tehran's public denial of talks reflects genuine rejection or negotiating posture.
