What is the reported U.S.-Iran agreement, and what is its current status?

The reported agreement is a U.S.-Iran deal to extend the ceasefire in the Middle East for another 60 days and lift restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz; it is still pending approval by Trump, according to four sources cited by Reuters.

How has the dollar reacted to the ceasefire report, and what does this suggest about market sentiment?

The dollar extended its weakness against major currencies and was on track to end the week 0.3% lower, snapping two weeks of gains; this reflects waning demand for the safe-haven dollar as oil prices fell and investors reacted to reduced geopolitical risk—though caution persisted due to mixed signals from Washington and Tehran.
