Israel-Iran Ceasefire and Geopolitical Risks (with Abeer Abu Omar)

Easing geopolitical tensions reduce safe-haven demand for the US dollar, contributing to its recent decline.

The de-escalation between Israel and Iran reduces immediate supply disruption risk, but the unresolved situation in Lebanon and potential for renewed hostilities keeps oil prices rangebound.

Iran and Israel have agreed to end attacks. What is the status of the agreement?

This is not an agreement on paper, but an agreement of firepower. Both sides are aware the US president wants a ceasefire deal with Iran. The key issue is Lebanon—Israel wants it decoupled from Iran, while Iran wants to preserve Hezbollah.

The open rift between Israel and the US is new. The question is whether Trump will insist Israel backs off in Lebanon or decouple it from US-Iran talks.
