• GBP/USD rose on Monday as optimism over a potential U.S.-Iran deal improved market risk sentiment and weakened demand for the safe-haven U.S. dollar..

• Markets remain cautiously optimistic that the United States and Iran are moving closer to a deal that could help end the Middle East conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz...

• A potential agreement may include a 60-day ceasefire extension, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and ending the US naval blockade on Iranian ports, while nuclear negotiations continue.
