Analysis: Trump confirms US-Iran talks, suggests negotiation channels may still exist

BlockBeats news, on July 15, Trump confirmed that the US and Iran held talks on Tuesday, and he urged Tehran to reach an agreement. Eamonn Sheridan, an analyst at the US financial website investinglive, stated that Trump's remarks (in the interview) indicate there will be no de-escalation in the short term, reinforcing the geopolitical risk premium reflected in crude oil and diesel prices following recent concerns about supply in the Strait of Hormuz.

He revealed that Iran's energy infrastructure has not yet been hit, suggesting that Washington still maintains the option to significantly escalate the situation. This factor could prompt traders to continue pricing the tail risks related to regional oil supplies.

Meanwhile, confirming talks with Tehran while maintaining ongoing strikes sends conflicting signals, hinting that even with continued military pressure, there may still be negotiation opportunities. Given that energy infrastructure problems have a direct impact on actual supplies, the market could remain highly sensitive to any change in rhetoric regarding energy facilities. (Golden Ten Data)
