Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial newsTehran has ‘no plans to participate’ in new talks, state media reports, as it accuses US of violating ceasefireMohit Kumar of investment bank Jefferies remains hopeful that the US and Iran are moving towards a peace deal, despite the re-closure of the strait of Hormuz:Markets are in a risk off mode this morning as tensions have escalated with Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz and US blockade still in place. US seized an Iran cargo ship and Trump threatened to destroy power plants and bridges in Iran. Tensions have also escalated between Israel and Hezbollah with the killing of two Israeli soldiers and attacks on Southern Lebanon. This follows constructive talks last week, where US and Iran were moving towards a deal and Iran had agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz.Our view remains that we are moving towards a deal.

I lean more towards the former, but the comparison with recent history is uncomfortable.Remember the 10%+ S&P 500 rally in the early weeks of the war in Ukraine, when hopes briefly grew of an early negotiated settlement, only to be disappointed. That episode is a clear warning sign. Continue reading...
