Former U.S. Ambassador Tom Nides argues that a nuclear deal with Iran is inevitable and will resemble the JCPOA, despite current complexities. He notes Iran controls Hezbollah and regional proxies, and that Prime Minister Netanyahu will ultimately comply when President Trump decides the war must end. Nides expects clear indications of resolution within a week, but warns that core issues like uranium disposal remain unaddressed.

No direct mention of USD. Geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East typically supports the dollar as a safe haven, but the expectation of a near-term resolution may limit upside. Overall, no strong directional signal.
wti
Nides notes Iran can 'shut the Gulf almost at will', implying potential supply disruption risk for oil, but also expects a deal soon, which could ease tensions. This creates a volatile short-term outlook for WTI.
yields
Expectation of a diplomatic resolution reducing geopolitical risk premium could lead to a slight decline in safe-haven demand for U.S. Treasuries, pushing yields cautiously lower in the short term.
