What happened
The Strait of Hormuz remains a flashpoint, with no breakthrough in sight. The U.S. has been attempting to broker peace in the Middle East, but these efforts have stalled.
Coverage from Semafor and Yahoo News focuses on the setbacks faced by former President Trump in two Middle East conflicts. Meanwhile, CNBC explores why markets react positively to the mere mention of a potential Iran deal, even when no agreement is reached.
The reasons for the stalled peace efforts are not yet clear. The market's reaction to geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz is also not fully explained.
