Newsquawk ·
European stocks mostly eked out mild gains, but price action varied. Crude was on a softer footing amid a lack of escalatory headlines on the US-Iran, whilst an unofficial MoU framework was released. The released MoU suggested the management and route of ship traffic via Hormuz to be handled by Iran in cooperation with Oman. EQUITIES European bourses (STOXX 600 +0.2%) held onto earlier gains, CAC 40 (+0.9%) set to end as the outperformer. Upside across the equity space was seen after Iran's State TV reported on the possible US-Iran MoU. Within the agreement, US military forces will withdraw from the vicinity of Iran and lift the naval blockade while Tehran commits to restoring the number of commercial transit ships through Hormuz to pre-war levels within one month. Gains were gradually pared following headlines that the Islamabad framework was not yet finalised and no steps were to be taken without "tangible verification". Sectors maintained a positive bias.
