Trump has a strong political incentive to end this costly conflict and ease pressure on energy prices, which have become a key source of concern for the American people. A breakthrough would send oil prices sharply lower on expected supply improvement and Strait of Hormuz reopening. <\/p>\n<p>However, although the timing of the report could give markets hope for an imminent breakthrough, one should take it with a pinch of salt. Recent reporting hasn&#8217;t been exactly rosy, with the US floating the idea of using the MOAB bomb. <\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi reiterated that Tehran&#8217;s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days remains on the table. The proposal is conditional on US acceptance of Iran&#8217;s demands, including lifting the blockade on Iranian ports, easing sanctions on Iranian oil exports and ending hostilities across the region. The two sides reportedly remain divided over the conditions and the order in which concessions should be implemented.<\/p>\n<p>The central disagreement is whether the reopening of the strait and relief from US pressure should come before substantive concessions on Iran&#8217;s nuclear programme. The US has insisted that Iran&#8217;s nuclear activities must be addressed, while Tehran wants the immediate focus to be on maritime security and the removal of restrictions affecting its economy.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has waived several Russian sanctions over the weekend in an attempt to lower energy prices, but the oil market has been driven primarily by the Middle East crisis. With WTI crude approaching the $100 level again and the widespread dissatisfaction, he could pull off a short-term deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift the US blockade ahead of the elections. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Giuseppe Dellamotta at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Al-Arabiya is saying that a breakthrough in US-Iran negotiations is expected to be announced this week as negotiators are working to narrow differences and secure mutual concessions to prevent a renewed escalation.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-440375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440375\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
