  • US President Trump announced to suspend the bombing of Iran for two weeks, subject to Iran opening up the Strait of Hormuz, while he stated that this will be a double-sided ceasefire. Trump said the reason for doing so is that they have already met and exceeded all military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive agreement concerning long-term peace with Iran, and peace in the Middle East. Furthermore, he confirmed they received a 10-point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate, while he stated that almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the US and Iran, although a two-week period will allow the agreement to be finalised and consummated.
  • White House senior official said Israel is part of the 2-week ceasefire and that it agreed to suspend bombing while talks are ongoing, while a US official also stated that the Iran ceasefire takes effect once the Strait of Hormuz is reopened.
  • Iran accepted Pakistan's two-week ceasefire proposal, with the ceasefire approved by the Supreme Leader, while Iran said negotiations with the US will be held in Islamabad to finalise details and that talks are to begin on Friday, April 10th and may be extended if both sides agree.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi’s statement, which was posted by Trump on Truth, stated that if attacks against Iran are halted, their powerful armed forces will cease their defensive operations, while he added that for a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran’s Armed Forces and with due consideration of technical limitations.
  • Iran's Supreme Security Council said fingers are on the trigger, and as soon as the enemy makes the slightest mistake, it will be answered with full force.
  • Israel's Ynet cited security sources that stated the Iran ceasefire will also include Lebanon.
  • There were reports of several missile launches towards Israel and Iran’s regional neighbours, while an explosion was also reported in Kermanshah, northwestern Iran. However, a US official said the ceasefire would begin Tuesday evening, but they believe it may take some time for orders to reach Revolutionary Guard units at the field level, while Iranian media reported that the Supreme Leader has ordered units to cease launches.
Context

While optimism exists surrounding negotiations, any missteps could lead to renewed tensions, impacting commodities like oil, gold, and broader market sentiments. The market will be closely monitoring developments to gauge the durability of this truce and its effect on risk assets.
