What have the U.S. and Iran agreed to? This is what markets are focused on.

U.S. stocks are broadly reacting positively to reports that the Trump administration and Iran have agreed on a framework for a peace deal, with a memorandum of understanding signing set for Friday in Switzerland. The development is geopolitically significant and could reduce near-term risk premiums across risk assets. Market impact is potentially broad given the implied de-escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions.
