Synopsis:
Asian markets set for positive start to Monday trade. Futures signaling opening rally in Japan and Hong Kong. Big initial gain in Australia. S&P 500 futures inching higher after US indexes logged best session since May-2025. Australian bonds rallying after Treasury yields extended recent downshift. Crude steadying following relatively modest decline. Gold and silver adding to earlier rally. FX markets steady after dollar retreated (yen hit one-week high). Bitcoin marginally higher in choppy trade.
Iran conflict offramp hopes gaining traction after Trump said he expects hostilities to end in 2-3 weeks. Trump didn't dispute earlier reports about willingness to end war without reopening Strait of Hormuz, putting onus on US allies to take responsibility for ensuring passage of ships. Nothing incremental on peace talks after Iran said willing to end war but with guarantees, though has yet to formally respond to 15-point peace plan. Trump's optimism jarring somewhat against a still-unsettled war backdrop with US dispatching third aircraft carrier and IRGC issuing threats against US tech companies.
