The US and Iran are poised to sign a historic interim peace agreement in Switzerland on Friday, sending Brent crude below $80 a barrel and sparking a global equities rally. The 14-point memorandum of understanding will grant Tehran sweeping financial incentives—including the right to immediately resume oil sales, tap frozen assets, and access a $300 billion development fund—in exchange for ending the conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Despite President Donald Trump’s insistence that the vital shipping artery will reopen by week’s end, European allies and shipping executives remain highly skeptical of the aggressive timeline.

The moves prompted a spike in short-dated Treasury yields and the dollar as traders moved to price in higher borrowing costs for 2026.
