Officials involved in the negotiations have suggested that progress has accelerated and that a framework for a deal is close. However, conflicting reports about the final terms have prevented investors from fully embracing a risk-on mood.<br \/><br \/>Questions remain over several critical issues, including the future of Iran&#8217;s nuclear program, the release of frozen assets, and the reopening of key energy shipping routes. Until there is greater clarity, currency markets are likely to remain trapped in a wait-and-see mode.<br \/><br \/>The uncertainty has also kept the US dollar largely stable, with investors reluctant to make aggressive moves before concrete details emerge. As a result, both the euro and the dollar have spent much of the week consolidating recent gains.<br \/><br \/>Beyond geopolitics, attention is increasingly shifting toward next week&#8217;s Federal Reserve meeting, which will be closely watched by global investors. While markets widely expect policymakers to leave interest rates unchanged, the focus will be on the central bank&#8217;s outlook for the months ahead.<br \/><br \/>Recent US inflation data showed consumer prices rising 4.2% annually, remaining well above the Federal Reserve&#8217;s long-term target. That has fueled expectations that interest rates could stay elevated for longer.<br \/><br \/>Meanwhile, investors are also awaiting fresh inflation figures from the Eurozone. Consumer price growth is expected to remain at 3.2%, still above the European Central Bank&#8217;s target and supporting expectations that policymakers will maintain a firm stance against inflation.<br \/><br \/>For now, the euro remains steady, with traders waiting for answers from both diplomats and central bankers before making their next major move.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The euro traded in a narrow range against the US dollar on Friday as investors remained focused on developments surrounding a potential peace agreement between the United States and Iran.The single currency hovered near 1.1573 dollars, on track for modest weekly gains, as traders adopted a cautious stance ahead of what could be a decisive &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":58857,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6827,49,37,36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-128368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-daily-economic-reports","category-economic-reports","category-forex-markets","category-market-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128368"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128368\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":128372,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128368\/revisions\/128372"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noortrends.ae\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
