The U.S. and Iran appeared to diverge on accounts of a potential peace deal this week, with Washington touting progress in diplomacy while Tehran denied interest in direct talks, leaving investors parsing prospects for an off-ramp and wondering how to trade amid conflicting signals. Markets rallied earlier this week after President Donald Trump said the U.S. and Iran were "in negotiations right now" and signaled a potential peace deal, despite Tehran's denial. The remarks sent oil prices tumbling and equities higher, underscoring investors' sensitivity to incremental changes in tone. But the whipsaw reflects a deeper uncertainty: whether the conflict is nearing a resolution or risks escalating into a broader disruption to global energy supplies. "Markets are struggling because they are trying to price two competing paths at once," said Billy Leung, investment strategist at Global X ETFs. "There is a potential diplomatic outcome being discussed, but the base case still involves a near-term disruption to energy flows, particularly through [the Strait of] Hormuz." Greenland was a sideshow. Venezuela was a sideshow. Cuba is a sideshow. President of Yardeni Research Ed Yardeni That tension has kept risk pricing unstable, with assets reacting to headlines rather than converging on a clear macro trajectory. Oil, bond yields and equities have seen outsized moves, as shifting expectations around energy shock, inflation and central bank policy ripple through markets. Earlier this week, the U.S. reportedly laid out over a dozen points in a proposal to Iran to end hostilities, inlucia potential ceasefire to resume negotiations. Iranian officials, however, dismissed the reports as "fake news." It remains unclear whether the Trump administration is seeking an end to the war or simply to avoid further escalation, and whether the proposal had support from Israel. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Trump wanted to end the conflict in the coming weeks, citing people fami...

Klaus Vedfelt A Trump administration official on Wednesday issued two criminal referrals against Letitia James , months after the U.S. Department of Justice made a third unsuccessful attempt to prosecute a longtime target of Donald Trump . Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte alleged in the referrals that James committed insurance fraud, saying she may have falsified information on separate homeowner's insurance applications regarding occupancy at two homes in Norfolk, Virginia, according to documents obtained by NBC News. One referral was made to U.S. Attorney Jason Quiñones in the Southern District of Florida and the other to U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros in the Northern District of Illinois, as the insurance companies for the two respective applications, each for a different Norfolk property, are based in those jurisdictions. “According to insurance documents published on X.com by attorney and media personality, Mike Davis (@mrddmia), it appears that a public official, Ms. Letitia James, may have falsified information on her homeowners insurance application," Pulte wrote in the referrals, as per the report. The Justice Department has tried "unsuccessfully to prosecute James three times on mortgage-related charges, with the most recent attempt failing in December after a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, refused to indict her."
