According to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Donald Trump accused Tehran's leadership of being divided, which he said has hindered a deal to end a conflict that has lasted nine weeks and triggered a global energy crisis. He remarked that Iran has made "requests I cannot accept," though some traders interpreted this as a negotiating tactic rather than an abandonment of peace efforts. Investors will be looking ahead to a new batch of U.S. corporate earnings reports and employment data. Here are the key points the market will focus on in the coming week:
- Tuesday 00:50 — FOMC permanent voter and New York Fed President John Williams delivers a speech;
