AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Iran Deal Whispers Move Markets: Trump said US-Iran talks are in the “final stages,” sparking a quick risk-on bounce—oil slid, bond yields eased, and Wall Street clawed back after bond-market pressure. Rates Back in Focus: Investors are now pricing possible Fed rate hikes as inflation re-accelerates with the Strait of Hormuz still choked, while a soft US Treasury 20-year auction added jitters. Hormuz Tightens Further: Reuters reports Iran has consolidated control with checkpoints, inspections and passage fees—while the US says it redirected commercial vessels and disabled others. Sanctions Pressure: The US expanded anti-Iran sanctions, targeting more ships and entities tied to Iran’s energy and “shadow banking” networks. Diplomatic Fallout Over Gaza Flotilla: Israel’s Ben-Gvir posted abuse footage of detained aid activists, triggering outrage from multiple governments. Energy Supply Signals: Saudi crude exports hit a record low in March, underscoring how the war is reshaping trade flows.
