U.S.-Iran Nuclear Talks Enter Critical Window This Week, with Trump Claiming Deal Near Close

According to BlockBeats, on June 1, U.S. President Trump said a ceasefire agreement with Iran is close to being reached, demanding Iran abandon its nuclear weapons capability and open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran denied it has approved the final agreement text and emphasized that disagreements remain on related arrangements. U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseths warned that if negotiations fail, the U.S. has prepared to resume military action against Iran. If the two sides confirm a ceasefire extension or reach a phased agreement next week, risk assets could continue to benefit, while oil prices and safe-haven assets may face new directional choices.

Meanwhile, the U.S. will release key economic data this week, including May nonfarm payrolls and May unemployment rate on Friday. The Federal Reserve will have multiple officials speaking, with markets reassessing the balance between U.S. economic slowdown and inflation pressures. Additional data points include April JOLTS job openings on Tuesday, May ADP employment on Wednesday, and May ISM non-manufacturing PMI also on Wednesday.
