AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoUS-Iran MoU and Hormuz reopening: The US and Iran have reached a tentative framework to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with a formal signing expected in Switzerland on June 19 after a 60-day nuclear and security negotiation period; leaders including Pakistan’s Shehbaz Sharif and France’s Macron welcomed the step, while markets reacted with falling oil and a global risk-on rally. Market shockwave: Oil prices slid sharply and volatility eased as shipping fears receded, lifting equities worldwide and boosting assets like gold and bitcoin, though analysts warn normalization will take months and details remain contested. Israel pushback: Israeli politicians across the spectrum condemned the MoU, arguing Israel is not bound by the US and warning the deal doesn’t resolve key issues in Lebanon. Swiss vote on immigration cap: Switzerland rejected a right-wing referendum to cap population growth at 10 million, a result widely seen as reducing friction with the EU’s free-movement framework. Swiss business moves: Barry Callebaut confirmed a multi-million eurobond buyback tender as it continues restructuring, while Schotex Global named Jennifer Ryan head of sales for North America. Aviation link: Air Baltic signed a codeshare with El Al and plans to resume Riga–Tel Aviv flights from July as demand returns.
