Original source

The White House says peace talks with Iran are ongoing, despite Tehran's public rejection of US overtures and its own conditions for ending the conflict. Iran is seeking guarantees, including that the US and Israel won't resume attacks, reparations for war damages, and recognition of its authority over the Strait of Hormuz. Also on the show: Stocks and bonds edge lower and oil climbs on persistent Middle-East tensions and conflicting signals from the US and Iran about their ceasefire talks. Guests include: Justin Muzinich, Muzinich CEO, Former Deputy Secretary to US Treasury; Xi Nan, Rystad Energy, Head of Oil & LNG. (Source: Bloomberg)
