As expected, weekends are still tough; the international market's closed phase is a critical point of contention for both sides. However, compared to the intense military conflicts and diplomatic pressures of previous weekends, the current situation looks considerably more optimistic.
Next week will be a crucial turning point for the US-Iran situation. At present, the situation will either move toward the negotiation table or return to military conflict; a prolonged silence is unlikely.
Regarding the current situation, I remain optimistic. Today, the Iranian President and Foreign Minister coordinated diplomatically.
The Iranian President, focusing on strategic goals, expressed optimism and a positive attitude toward negotiations, stating that a negotiation window exists but with more demands.
The Iranian Foreign Minister, on the other hand, took a relatively tough stance to present the conditions and procedures for returning to negotiations.
With one side soft and the other strong, this is clearly diplomatic coordination to pressure and mediate with the US. Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader has recently remained silent on the US-Iran situation, waiting for the final verdict.
Where there is contention, there is the possibility of returning to negotiations, and I believe the probability is not low. Although the energy market has rebounded, its current performance seems more like nervousness over uncertainty rather than a strong rebound following a worsening situation! #霍尔木兹谈判取得进展,油价风险降温了吗?
