Asian and European equities climbed on Monday, while U.S. equity futures jumped and Brent crude fell, as signs of a possible U.S.-Iran deal boosted risk appetite. To note, the U.S. is on holiday.
Both sides appear to be moving closer to ending the three-month conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. However, overnight comments from senior Iranian officials suggest gaps remain, particularly over the future of Iran's nuclear program and uranium enrichment.
"It is true that a consensus was reached on many of the topics discussed, but no one can claim that the signing of an agreement is imminent," Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei told reporters in response to a question on the progress in negotiations.
