Al Jazeera’s bureau chief in Tehran, Nourddine Dgheir, citing sources in the city, says the atmosphere around talks is increasingly positive.
He writes that Iran-U.S. negotiations, which are ongoing in New York, have moved beyond initial diplomatic contacts into a more detailed technical phase, with technical experts joining the discussion. More Iranian officials have travelled to New York for the talks.
The report says Qatar continues to mediate.
There has been some lift in risk appetite on the latest reports and the S&P 500 is at the highs of the day.
Update: An Axios report is similar in content. I wouldn’t rule out this is a Friday ruse to knock oil down a couple bucks but hope springs eternal.
