The dominant narrative remains the US-Iran peace deal, which is escalating with multiple sources reporting an imminent announcement. Al-Arabiya, citing a senior source, states 'a few hours separate us from the announcement of the agreement between Iran and the United States.' This is corroborated by multiple Polymarket contracts on US-Iran peace deals and Strait of Hormuz normalization. However, a counter-signal has emerged: Netanyahu has reportedly urged Trump to reject Iran's latest proposal, introducing significant uncertainty that could derail the agreement. Separately, Tesla (TSLA) is showing bearish technical signals with multiple gap-down days, while AMD and other semiconductor stocks are showing strong intraday gains. The US embassy in Kyiv has warned of a potentially significant air attack in Ukraine within 24 hours, adding geopolitical risk. Ukraine drone strikes hit Novorossiysk oil terminal, adding to energy supply concerns.
