Forecast Trend Report by Period
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said a deal with the US could be harder to reach if negotiations delve too deeply into the details of highly enriched uranium. Markets are closely watching for signs of progress in nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran.
Walter Bloomberg reported on May 22 that a spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry said the sides would fail to reach a conclusion if they tried to go too far into details related to highly enriched uranium in Iran.
The comments came as the US and Iran continue negotiations over sanctions relief and limits on Tehran’s nuclear program. Iran previously said differences with Washington remain deep and substantial.
Traders are focused on limits to uranium enrichment and how the International Atomic Energy Agency would verify compliance, both of which are seen as key variables in the talks. The US is demanding controls on highly enriched uranium and curbs on nuclear activity, while Iran is insisting on guarantees of its right to nuclear activities.
The outcome of the negotiations could ripple across global financial markets, including international oil prices and the dollar. Still, persistent disagreements over core issues have left the chances of a final agreement in the near term uncertain.
