Remarks
Some Gulf countries have been involved in the US war on Iran.
Iran-Oman talks over management of the Hormuz Strait have been positive.
The situation in Hormuz has not changed; the strait is still closed.
Talks with Oman about the Strait of Hormuz to continue.
Iran has not asked for resumption of talks with the US, ‘not in our DNA’.
Mediators transmit messages to us from the US. But we do not have talks with Washington currently.
Market reaction
A decent recovery move is seen in the US Dollar (USD) in the European trade, but is still trading down. At press time, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is 0.19% lower at around 101.28.
