    Question

    President Trump says the United States is not negotiating with Iran but expects an outcome fairly soon

    Direct answer

    The denial of active negotiations reduces near-term confidence in de-escalation, while the promise of a near-term outcome leaves crude and volatility sensitive to official updates.
