We anticipate that the 14-point US-Iran agreement will reshape market expectations and oil dynamics
Executive summary: The United States and Iran have agreed on a 14-point framework to conclude their conflict, with plans to formalize the peace treaty in Switzerland on Friday. The accord could lower oil prices, lift Asian market sentiment, and open pathways for broader economic normalization.
Who is involved: Iran, the United States, and indirectly international markets and regional economies.
Likely next: Negotiations will move toward a permanent treaty, with monitoring of oil supply and market reactions; any delays could stall the expected price decline.
