**Summary**: US officials express confidence an Iran peace deal will be signed Sunday, while Trump publicly calls for an immediate halt to all attacks between Israel and Hezbollah and declares no more Israeli strikes in Lebanon. This combination lowers near‑term odds of a wider regional war and supports a partial unwind of the Middle East risk premium in crude and gold.

## Detail

1) What happened:
Multiple aligned signals in the last hour point to rising odds of a US–Iran understanding: the US ambassador says the administration is ‘confident’ a peace deal will be signed Sunday, and Trump has publicly stated there should be no more Israeli attacks in Lebanon and no attacks from Hezbollah or others on Israel. This follows earlier reporting that a Lebanon ceasefire is part of the broader US–Iran package. While the deal is not yet signed and Iran is conditioning it on US commitments, the market‑relevant shift is that Washington is now willing to constrain Israeli operations in Lebanon to preserve the talks.

2) Supply/demand impact:
The central risk premium driver over recent weeks has been the probability that Israeli–Hezbollah clashes spill over into a direct Iran–Israel/US confrontation, threatening Iranian oil exports and/or shipping through Hormuz. The latest messaging reduces, though does not eliminate, that tail risk. Assuming the deal proceeds, markets will price a lower probability of:
• Disruption to 1.5–2.5 mb/d of Iranian crude exports.
• Attacks on tankers or other kinetic activity in/near the Strait of Hormuz.

This is a de‑escalation signal even though details on sanctions waivers or explicit oil clauses are not in these specific snippets. The immediate effect is expectation of fewer supply interruptions rather than a sudden increase in barrels.

3) Affected assets and direction:
• Brent, WTI: Bearish near term via compression of geopolitical risk premium; a 1–3% downside move is plausible on confirmation headlines, especially at the front of the curve.
• Time spreads (Brent, Dubai): Likely to soften as war‑risk tightness eases.
• Gold: Mildly bearish as Middle East war tail risks recede.
• Regional risk assets and EM FX (especially GCC and TRY proxies): Modest improvement in sentiment.

4) Historical precedent:
Announcements or credible leaks of diplomatic breakthroughs involving Iran (e.g., 2013 interim nuclear deal, 2015 JCPOA framework) have typically driven $2–5/bbl downside moves in crude over days as traders re‑price sanctions and war risk, even before physical flows changed materially.

5) Duration:
If a deal is actually signed Sunday and a Lebanon ceasefire holds, the risk premium compression could be multi‑week to multi‑month, especially if later confirmed by explicit sanctions relief on Iranian exports. However, mis‑implementation, proxy violations on the Lebanon front, or domestic pushback in Israel/Iran could rapidly re‑inflate the premium. For now, directionally bearish crude/gold on de‑escalation, but with high headline volatility.
