Ricky with Tech Solutions discusses recent developments in Iran-US peace talks. A week to a week and a half ago, the US and Iran met in Pakistan for negotiations but left without a deal, causing markets to sell off negatively. Yesterday, futures gapped down about 1% in extended hours. Iran rejected a second round of talks 20 hours ago, but now the Iranian delegation is preparing to travel to Islamabad, Pakistan tomorrow for talks with the US, leading to bullish sentiment as markets recovered to break even at open.

If talks occur tomorrow and show progress—even without a full agreement—markets will rally, potentially to all-time highs, due to reduced escalation fears. Markets seek progress announcements to extend the two-day remaining ceasefire Trump instated nearly two weeks ago.

President Trump says ceasefire extension is highly unlikely, but he has said that in the past. He's great at extending deadlines, as with tariffs and Iran deadlines.

Trump warns lots of bombs will start going off if the ceasefire expires without a deal. The US-Iran ceasefire expires in 2 days.

Monitor Iran-US updates for escalation or deescalation. Oil prices are a reliable indicator, not overreacting to headlines. Oil held support at $35 for UCO ETF despite market moves and has recovered but faces resistance, awaiting Pakistan talks outcome.

Track shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz via sites: closure boosts oil prices and market uncertainty; open traffic drops oil prices and supports market gains.
