Markets Rally After Trump Signals Possible Iran Deal

Global markets shifted gears in minutes on Wednesday, and the trigger was important. President Trump said, “We are talking to the right people in Iran and they want to make a deal.” Within 45 minutes, over $300 billion was added to US stocks. Safe-haven assets surged, and risk assets followed. For the first time in weeks, Wall Street, crypto traders, and gold bulls were all winning simultaneously.

The United States delivered a 15-point framework to Iran outlining peace terms, alongside reports of a proposed one-month ceasefire to hold formal talks.

The clauses are sweeping. Iran would dismantle its nuclear capabilities, halt uranium enrichment on home soil, and transfer enriched uranium to the IAEA. The Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow nuclear sites would be decommissioned and destroyed.
