Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has rejected direct negotiations with the U.S. regarding its nuclear program, responding to a letter from President Trump. While indirect talks remain a possibility, tensions have escalated following the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear deal and ongoing military actions in the region. Iran's leadership emphasizes the need for confidence-building measures, as threats of military action loom amid fears of a nuclear confrontation.
Iran's president announced the rejection of direct negotiations with the U.S. regarding its nuclear program, responding to a letter from President Trump. While indirect talks remain a possibility, tensions have escalated, with Trump threatening military action if a deal is not reached. Iran's leadership has hardened its stance, complicating any potential diplomatic engagement.
The US has added 80 organizations to its export blacklist, with over 50 based in China, to prevent access to advanced computing technologies for military purposes. The restrictions, announced by the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, target entities involved in high-performance computing, AI, and hypersonic weapons development. China's Foreign Ministry condemned the move as a violation of international law, highlighting the ongoing tensions between the US and China.
Oil prices surged last week, marking their strongest weekly gain since January, driven by escalating tensions in the Middle East and new US sanctions on Iran and Venezuela. The risk premium from potential conflicts, including the fragile ceasefires involving Israel, has contributed to this rise. However, anticipated increases in OPEC+ oil supply may limit further price gains.
Chevron shares are testing a key resistance level at $165, supported by rising refining margins and a rebound in oil prices amid geopolitical tensions. Despite a 17.35% drop in profits for 2024, the company is focused on cost optimization and sustainable growth, positioning itself favorably in the energy sector. A breach of the $165 mark could signal a new uptrend, targeting $188, while the buy/sell ratio among insiders indicates strong confidence in the sector's prospects.
Top Trump administration officials inadvertently shared sensitive military plans in a Signal messaging group that included a journalist, prompting calls for a congressional investigation into the breach of national security. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied sharing war plans, while Democratic lawmakers condemned the incident as illegal and reckless. The White House confirmed an investigation is underway, with President Trump reportedly unaware of the situation.
HSBC chair Sir Mark Tucker stated that "globalisation as we knew it may have now run its course," citing trade and geopolitical tensions that could reshape economic ties among regional groups and trade blocs. He emphasized that while the world won't regress into de-globalisation, new opportunities will arise, particularly among the expanding Brics group, which now includes additional countries like Iran and the UAE. Tucker noted that economic connectivity between Asia and the Middle East is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.
Mike Huckabee, nominated by President Trump as ambassador to Israel, faces a Senate confirmation hearing amid renewed conflict in Gaza. Known for his strong pro-Israel stance, Huckabee opposes a two-state solution and has previously supported annexation of the West Bank. His confirmation could further complicate U.S. policy in the Middle East, especially as Israeli military actions escalate.
Amadeus Fire's cautious outlook impacted cyclically sensitive stocks, with Givaudan, Sika, and Holcim among the notable decliners. The US stock market saw declines, particularly in Nike and FedEx, amid economic concerns and a major futures expiry day. Oil prices remained stable, with Brent slightly down and WTI up, as geopolitical tensions continue to influence the market.
Oil prices rose on Friday, marking a second consecutive weekly gain, driven by new US sanctions on Iran and OPEC+'s plan to cut output. Brent crude futures increased to $72.14 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate rose to $68.23. Analysts predict a significant reduction in Iranian crude exports due to tighter sanctions, alongside OPEC+'s commitment to further output cuts until June 2026.
