Trading WTI Crude: Traders optimistic on a deal, but can crude break $90?

Markets are optimistic about a potential US-Iran framework agreement involving a 60-day ceasefire extension and gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which could ease energy supply constraints and reduce geopolitical risk premiums, although the timeline for a full nuclear deal is considered aggressive and may require extensions; crude prices have fallen from around $108 to below $93 amid volatile reactions to geopolitical developments, with futures indicating that prices are expected to remain elevated due to ongoing supply uncertainties and gradual recovery in Gulf production and exports.

Preview For The April 2026 US Jobs Report

This Friday brings our latest update on the state of the US labour market, which has remained mired in a ‘no fire, no hire’ dynamic for some time now.
