RUBIO SAYS IRAN DEAL TALKS NEED MORE TIME
Marco Rubio said negotiations with Iran to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz will take several more days due to unresolved wording in the draft agreement.
He said the U.S. insists the waterway remain fully open and toll-free, warning that President Donald Trump will not accept a “bad deal.”
No joint message from these meetings is never a good sign—usually means the divisions run deep, especially on sensitive topics like war, trade, or monetary policy. That kind of silence shakes market confidence and boosts risk-off flows, sending funds into USD and gold as investors dodge crossfire.
Expect volatility in sectors tied to conflict or policy uncertainty—energy, defense, emerging markets could get whipsawed as traders price in more geopolitical risk. This might also hint at a fractured global framework, raising the odds of regional policy pivots and less coordinated crisis response.
