Iran's Foreign Minister confirmed a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for seven days and begin nuclear talks, effectively ending the immediate supply disruption fears that drove energy premiums.

The move dampens the bearish energy signal and suggests a shift toward risk-on asset classes, although the sustainability of the ceasefire remains a key variable to monitor.
