Stalled Negotiations, Trump Tough on Iran
US President Donald Trump warned Iran that "time is running out" as talks to end the war reportedly stalled, according to a CNBC report on Sunday.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Iran must "move quickly" and emphasized the urgency of the situation, though he did not elaborate on specific consequences or what steps he expected from Tehran.
The remarks came as Trump was scheduled to speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later that day, amid heightened market attention on the direction of regional policy and geopolitical stability.
Meanwhile, Iranian media reported that the US response to Tehran's latest proposal lacked concrete concessions, increasing the likelihood of a continued deadlock in negotiations.
The semi-official Fars news agency said the US had put forward five key conditions for a peace agreement, including the transfer of uranium related to Iran's nuclear program to the US, no US reparations to Tehran, and the release of less than a quarter of Iran's frozen assets. For the market, the escalating rhetoric and deadlocked negotiations tend to maintain a geopolitical risk premium: gold is likely to remain supported as a hedge, oil risks remain high if supply disruptions continue to attract investment, while the US dollar tends to stabilize or strengthen as volatility rises and interest rate expectations are driven by inflation risks from energy.
