Global Markets on Edge: Iran-US Nuclear Talks Crucial for Sanctions or War Risk

• Second round of Iran-US nuclear talks in Geneva, mediated by Oman, puts global stock and oil markets on high alert.
• Iran demands US lift economic sanctions in exchange for discussing its nuclear program, including uranium enrichment.
• US increases military presence in Middle East, deploying a second aircraft carrier, signaling potential military confrontation if talks fail.
• Success could ease sanctions and increase oil supply, while failure risks escalating Middle East tensions and disrupting global oil markets.
• The Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil route, adds to geopolitical sensitivity, with potential conflict impacting global oil supply.
