Oil has ticked higher on some headlines tossing up some skepticism about a US-Iran deal.
Reuters cited a senior unnamed Iranian official:
Significant differences remain, including on nuclear issuesSerious talks requiredKeeping Strait of Hormuz open is conditional on adherence to ceasefire termsA preliminary deal could be reached within the coming days, with the possibility of extending the ceasefireA prelim deal could “create space” for talks on lifting sanctions and securing compensation for war damagesIran is ready to assure the world about the peaceful nature of its nuclear work if its demands are met
The S&P 500 has pulled back about 25 points from the highs but most of that was before this. Oil has also bounced from the lows.
Negotiations are always hardest at the end.
