AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoUS-Iran Ceasefire Talks: Negotiators edged toward a 60-day memorandum of understanding to extend the truce and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but President Donald Trump’s approval is still pending, keeping markets on edge. Strait of Hormuz Trade Rules: The draft reportedly calls for unrestricted shipping, mine removal within 30 days, and lifting the US naval blockade if commercial traffic resumes—key for oil flows and regional logistics. Sanctions Pressure: Washington also escalated maximum-pressure tactics, including fresh sanctions targeting Iran’s military oil trade and the entities tied to Hormuz shipping and airlines.

Inflation & Consumer Impact: Research from the ECB warns the Iran war is creating a “double scar” for euro zone consumers—faster and deeper sensitivity to prices than earlier geopolitical shocks. Iran Internet Reconnects: Iran partially restored internet access after 88 days of digital isolation, easing restrictions step-by-step for fixed broadband and mobile networks. Global Business Fallout: Insurers and energy-linked firms are adjusting plans for war-driven risk, while European and US expansion moves are being framed around higher uncertainty.
