The discourse on a ceasefire between the US-Israel and Iran remains murky; the optimism that emerged last Wednesday seems to be fading.
Market participants are now more focused on how the real impacts are spreading to the policies of stakeholders, industries, and the real economy in various countries, especially after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Citing CNBC.com, Trump decided to extend the deadline for that attack by 10 days until 6 April to provide room for negotiations. This decision is said to have been taken at the request of the Islamic Republic of Iran government as part of efforts to ease tensions.
Trump stated that the extension was given in exchange for 10 oil tankers crossing the Strait of Hormuz as a “gift” from Tehran. He also emphasised through a post on Truth Social that this delay aims to open opportunities for a diplomatic resolution.
In his statement, Trump said discussions are still ongoing and going very well despite differing reports from the media. Nevertheless, Washington stated its desire to end the conflict through negotiation channels, while Tehran denied any direct talks with the United States.
Oil prices strengthened temporarily on Thursday before showing weakness in line with indications of progress towards a US-Iran peace agreement. The West Texas Intermediate contract for May delivery fell 1.3% to US$93.29 per barrel, while Brent crude oil closed at the level of US$108.01 per barrel.
