Meanwhile, the progress of U.S.-Iran negotiations remains a key focus for the market. According to The New York Times, citing U.S. officials, Trump held a two-hour meeting with senior advisers in the White House Situation Room on the 29th, but has not made a final decision on the U.S.-Iran agreement. Trump reiterated that Iran must permanently abandon its nuclear weapons program, the Strait of Hormuz must be fully open, and tolls must be lifted.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei responded that communication between Iran and the United States is ongoing, but the two sides have not yet reached a final consensus, questioning whether the U.S. will truly fulfill its commitments.

Due to market expectations of a potential ceasefire and easing agreement between the U.S. and Iran, international oil prices continued to fall.

Market participants believe that the decline in oil prices will help alleviate inflationary pressures and support risk assets.
