US asks Israel to halt strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure, Axios reports, citing sources.
What it means
The U.S. request for Israel to halt strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure indicates a potential de-escalation in regional tensions, which could stabilize oil prices in the short term. This development may foster a more favorable environment for risk assets, while the dollar could be influenced depending on broader market perceptions surrounding geopolitical risk and energy supply implications.
