Iran has pitched a seven-day roadmap to end the conflict with the US, a development that has triggered a sharp rally in energy commodities (UNG +6.3%, USO +2.9%) as markets price in the potential restart of Saudi pipelines and regional stability. This geopolitical thaw is also fueling a broad risk-on sentiment in digital assets, with Bitcoin consolidating near $84,000 and altcoins surging, including Quant's 39% jump. The shift from escalation to de-escalation is the dominant market-moving theme, offsetting previous bearish geopolitical signals.
