Event Summary

The United States and Iran have reportedly reached an agreement to extend a ceasefire in the Middle East for another 60 days and lift restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. This deal, pending Donald Trump's approval, aims to allow traffic to flow through the strategic waterway while negotiators address Iran's nuclear program. The news has led to a weakening of the United States against major currencies like the Europe, United Kingdom — Pound sterling, Australia — Australian dollar, New Zealand, and Japan — Japanese yen, as demand for safe-haven assets wanes. Oil prices, particularly Brent Crude, have fallen significantly. Economists anticipate the United States — Federal Reserve will hold interest rates unchanged, while the Japan — Bank of Japan is expected to hike rates next month. The New Zealand — Reserve Bank of New Zealand has also signaled earlier and steeper rate hikes.
