Amid a U.S.-led blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and fragile ceasefire in the 2026 Iran conflict, trader sentiment reflects skepticism toward imminent diplomatic breakthroughs following the first round of indirect talks in Islamabad on April 11-12, which ended without agreement on nuclear curbs, sanctions relief, or maritime access. U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff traveled to Pakistan last week for a prospective second round, but Iran rejected direct meetings, with its foreign minister conveying positions indirectly during a Moscow visit and blaming U.S. demands for the impasse. Tehran floated a new proposal to reopen the strait while deferring nuclear talks, yet no in-person engagement has materialized, keeping odds low for near-term resolution amid persistent gaps and backchannel efforts.
