Myanmar’s military-backed rulers have shaved time off Aung San Suu Kyi’s prison sentence and freed thousands of detainees, but analysts say the apparent goodwill gestures tell a story of a regime growing bolder, not more merciful. The government last week announced an amnesty for 4,335 prisoners, its third in six months, and reduced by a sixth the 27-year sentence of the 80-year-old Nobel Peace Pr...

Brendan Smialowski | AFP | Getty Images LONDON — European stocks are expected to open in negative territory on Wednesday as traders assess the Iran ceasefire extension and the prospect of further peace talks. The U.K.'s FTSE index, Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 are all expected to open 0.3% lower, respectively, while Italy's FTSE MIB is seen just a touch below the flatline, according to data from IG.

Trump said the ceasefire, which he earlier had said would end on Wednesday, would continue "until such time as" Iran's leaders and representatives submit a "unified proposal" to end the war with the U.S. and Israel. The President's announcement came after reports that an expected trip by Vice President JD Vance to Pakistan for a second round of peace talks with Iranian officials had been put on hold. Iranian state news outlet Tasnim also reported that negotiators from Tehran had informed their U.S. counterparts through an intermediary in Pakistan that they would not appear for further talks. While the ceasefire extension saw oil prices moderate, market sentiment was kept in check by Trump's refusal to lift the ongoing U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. He said in a Truth Social post: "They only say they want [the Strait of Hormuz] closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to 'save face.'" Trump added that lifting the blockade would mean "there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included." Earnings are in focus in Eu...
