Trump informed reporters that the deal is &quot;pretty much all wrapped up&quot; following reports that Tehran submitted a finalized Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Qatari mediators.<\/p>\n<p>The news immediately impacted energy markets, causing <strong>Brent Crude to drop 2.92% to $90.38<\/strong> and <strong>US Crude to settle down 2.58% at $87.71<\/strong>. Traders reacted to the President&#39;s claim that planned military strikes had been canceled, significantly lowering the geopolitical risk premium currently priced into global commodities.<\/p>\n<p>However, the diplomatic breakthrough faces skepticism. <strong>Fars News<\/strong>, a semi-official Iranian agency, reported that no text has been officially approved, while Israeli sources told CNN that Prime Minister Netanyahu was &quot;surprised&quot; by Trump\u2019s social media posts. Despite these denials, Qatari mediators suggest that key gaps were resolved during Wednesday&#39;s high-level consultations.<\/p>\n<h2>Nvidia Upgraded to &#39;AA&#39; by S&amp;P Global<\/h2>\n<p>Nvidia (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>) shares received a fundamental boost as <strong>S&amp;P Global upgraded the chipmaker\u2019s credit rating to &#39;AA&#39;<\/strong> with a stable outlook. The ratings agency highlighted Nvidia&#39;s &quot;strong AI-driven secular growth&quot; and its ability to generate &quot;significant cash flow&quot; as the primary drivers for the upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>The upgrade solidifies Nvidia&#39;s standing as the bedrock of the artificial intelligence revolution. Analysts noted that the company&#39;s hardware remains the industry standard, and its strengthening balance sheet provides a massive buffer against potential cyclical downturns in the semiconductor sector.<\/p>\n<h2>SpaceX Targets $1.8 Trillion IPO<\/h2>\n<p>Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX is reportedly moving toward a historic Initial Public Offering with an <strong>implied valuation of approximately $1.8 trillion<\/strong>. If successful, the listing would immediately rank SpaceX as one of the ten largest public companies in the world by market capitalization.<\/p>\n<p>The offering has seen &quot;massive investor demand,&quot; though some market participants remain cautious. While the valuation is buoyed by optimism surrounding Starlink and deep-space exploration, some analysts warn that the price tag is driven more by <em>long-term vision and AI sentiment<\/em> than by current fundamental profitability.<\/p>\n<h2>Corporate Moves and Federal Appointments<\/h2>\n<p>In other major market news, Blackstone (<a href=\"\/stock\/BX\">BX<\/a>) is reportedly in talks to acquire the Canadian property firm <strong>H&amp;R<\/strong>, signaling a continued appetite for large-scale real estate consolidation. Meanwhile, the US Office of Personnel Management has selected Oracle (<a href=\"\/stock\/ORCL\">ORCL<\/a>) to lead a comprehensive modernization of the federal workforce infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>On the regulatory front, President Trump has nominated <strong>Jay Clayton<\/strong> to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Senate leadership, including Senator John Thune, indicated that they expect Clayton to receive a &quot;quick confirmation,&quot; providing clarity on the incoming administration&#39;s intelligence leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways President Trump announced an Iran nuclear agreement is &quot;pretty much all wrapped up,&quot;
