President Trump posted on Truth Social that a deal to end the war with Iran will be signed Sunday, though Iran has signaled caution on timing and terms remain opaque. The announcement comes amid Trump's 80th birthday celebrations at the White House and reflects his administration's push for rapid diplomatic wins.
Oil markets are pricing in uncertainty; a genuine Iran deal could ease sanctions and increase global crude supply, pressuring prices. Energy stocks and geopolitically sensitive sectors are volatile pending confirmation of terms. Gold and safe-haven assets are also in flux as traders assess the credibility of Sunday's claimed signing.
A U.S.-Iran accord would reshape Middle East geopolitics and potentially ease tensions that have driven regional proxy conflicts. However, skepticism over Trump's claim and Iran's cautious stance suggest negotiations remain fragile and could collapse if details diverge from public expectations.
