Asia-Pacific morning markets show clear divergence: US crude opens sharply lower, US stock index futures rally across the board, driven primarily by expectations of US-Iran ceasefire.
WTI crude opens down 3.83%, trading at $88.816/barrel; Brent crude falls 4.3%, to $99.99/barrel, with geopolitical risk premium declining rapidly.
US stock index futures surge in sync, Nasdaq-100 futures up 1%, Dow and S&P 500 futures both up 0.72%, risk sentiment clearly improving.
On the news front, the US proposes a one-month ceasefire plan and negotiations with Iran on 15-point agreement to end the conflict.
