Or should I say what happens now as the ceasefire and truce transitions into negotiations. Both sides are slated to sit down in Islamabad to try and seek a peace deal over the weekend, so we&#8217;ll have to wait and see on that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">For now, markets are keeping the optimism from the past few days but are not really pushing it any further today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">Oil prices bounced back a little but kept below the $100 mark, with WTI crude up 0.2% to $98.10 currently. The high earlier in the day saw a push to $100.40, before a slight retreat now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">As for risk trades, equities are holding steadier for the most part. Major indices in Europe are seeing gains of around 0.7% across the board while US futures are holding flattish after the slight gains yesterday. S&amp;P 500 futures are flat at the moment, awaiting further direction from Wall Street later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">In FX, major currencies didn&#8217;t offer too much on the session. The dollar is lightly changed and keeping more mixed with EUR\/USD holding just above 1.1710 and AUD\/USD down 0.1% to 0.7170 currently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">Besides that, the bond market is also keeping quieter today while precious metals are seeing light changes after the more volatile moves in the past few days. 10-year yields in the US are flat at 4.29% while gold is also flat at $4,763 on the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">After talking the talk, it is now time to walk the walk. Have a good weekend, everyone.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Justin Low at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Headlines: Oil prices consolidate ahead of the US-Iran peace talks in Islamabad.
