US stocks steady amid Iran deal uncertainties
The U.S. market experienced relative stability amid increasing doubts about the possibility of reaching a final agreement between the United States and Iran regarding the nuclear issue or regional conflicts. The S&P 500 maintained its previous levels, while the Nasdaq declined by 0.1%, and the Dow Jones similarly fell. Diplomatic tensions continue, as Iran nears an agreement with Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but it refuses direct negotiations with Washington without certain conditions being met. Oil prices rose by about 1%, buoyed by temporary optimism that Washington might reach an agreement, despite statements indicating ongoing tensions, especially with the probability of a U.S. interest rate hike in September dropping to 46%.
