<\/p>\n

Good morning.<\/strong> The U.S.-Iran peace deal is \u201cnow complete,\u201d President Donald Trump announced yesterday. With the news wedged between Trump\u2019s post about his 80th birthday, which featured a UFC cage fight on the White House lawn, and a post insulting Sen. Jack Reed (D\u2013R.I.) for condemning the deal, some might have dismissed the news as rhetoric. But Iran confirmed the deal, and a formal signing is set to take place on June 19 in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

\n

The good news is that the Strait of Hormuz can reopen and Trump has authorized an end to the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports. That should free up exports and lower oil and gas prices over time, not to mention fertilizer and other cargo. \u201cShips of the World, start your engines,\u201d Trump posted online. \u201cLet the oil flow!\u201d<\/p>\n

The lifting of U.S. sanctions should alleviate the suffering of the Iranian people, whose economy has been battered by the war. Sanctions relief could open the door to new business and market access to Iran. Markets are cheering the development, with U.S. stock futures surging, and stocks rallying across Europe and Asia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bad news? Key issues like Iran\u2019s nuclear program have yet to be worked out, and it\u2019s not clear whether Lebanon and Israel\u2019s priorities are included in the deal. Iranian state TV reportedly announced that the U.S. \u201cwas forced to sign an agreement to end the war.\u201d In short, it\u2019s too soon to tell if this will truly stick.<\/p>\n
