Morning Brief: Hopes for a deal lift stocks — and send oil down

ملخص

Hopes for a deal between Iran and the US have lifted stocks, while sending oil prices down, as negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz and the conflict's next phase are set to unfold. This development may lead to a decrease in geopolitical risk premium, benefiting equities. The potential easing of tensions could have a positive impact on the market, particularly on stocks, and a negative impact on oil prices.
