| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |

| DXY | A lower geopolitical risk premium and reduced expected imported-energy inflation can diminish safe-haven dollar demand. | Down1-5d | US-Iranian discussions were described as positive and constructive and were linked to a possible Hormuz reopening. |
| BRENT CRUDE FUTURES | Diplomatic progress weighs on the risk premium, but continued conditionality leaves the physical supply outlook uncertain. | Mixedintraday | The United States had not publicly accepted the proposal, and reopening remained conditional on several US actions. |
