French prosecutors say the Russian captain of the oil tanker with ties to Moscow has been released.June 4th - According to Saudi Arabias Al Arabiya television, citing sources, the agreement to unfreeze Iranian funds has entered its final stage, with the main obstacle being the mechanism for handling some of the frozen funds. A proposal to establish a special fund to hold frozen Iranian assets is under discussion. Furthermore, Trump informed the mediators that he opposes releasing funds to Iran before a formal agreement is signed. The mechanism of the special fund could allow for the gradual release of funds under international supervision, potentially bridging the gap between US concerns about Irans immediate access to cash and Irans demands for tangible economic benefits. Giuseppe Dellamotta, an analyst at the US financial website InvestingLive, stated that the dispute over frozen assets has been a recurring theme throughout the negotiations. Reports in recent weeks indicate that Iranian negotiators have been pressuring for the unfreezing of billions of dollars held overseas (particularly in Qatar), viewing this issue as a key test of Washingtons willingness to provide substantial sanctions relief. Despite significant differences remaining, the latest reports suggest that negotiators are increasingly focusing on technical implementation issues rather than fundamental political disagreements. Diplomats believe that if the issue of the asset freeze mechanism can be resolved, the two sides may be able to reach a formal agreement, which would provide limited economic assistance to Iran while maintaining the United States leverage in future negotiations on more sensitive issues.Eurozone retail sales fell 0.4% month-on-month in April, the largest drop since October 2024.Eurozone retail sales fell 0.4% month-on-month in April, compared with a forecast of -0.3% and a revised previous reading of 0.8% (from -0.10%).Eurozone retail sales rose 1% year-on-year in April, below the expected 0.3% and the previous figure revised from 1.20% to 2.1%.

During the Asian session, in response to negative signals from the US dollar index, the USD/JPY pair plunged below 146.00. (DXY). Following Wednesday's low of 146.22, the asset's two-day downward trend has extended. The main index is reaching the bottom of Monday's knee-jerk reaction near 145.77 as it continues to decline.

 

The dollar bears are facing a severe sell-off due to the positive market sentiment. The risk-sensitive currencies have benefited from an increase in risk appetite. The US dollar index (DXY) has struck a new monthly low of 109.56 and is anticipated to stay volatile until the release of crucial US economic data.

 

The increased demand for U.S. government bonds has resulted in a decline in yields. This is due to the global markets' increased confidence. The yield on 10-year United States Treasury notes has decreased to 4%.

 

According to estimates, the Gross Domestic Product of the United States expanded by 2.4% in the third quarter. Despite the ultra-hawkish monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the previously disclosed 0.6% fall in growth, forecasts indicate a positive growth rate.

 

In addition, US Durable Goods Orders data will continue to be a key point. Compared to a reduction of 0.2%, it is projected that economic statistics will increase by 0.6%. Notable is the increase in core inflation, which includes oil and food prices. In spite of this, the predicted increase in demand for durable goods in the United States demonstrates healthy household demand.

 

Investors in Tokyo are anticipating the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate decision on Friday. In view of the shocks to foreign demand, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will continue an ultra-loose monetary policy to stimulate the outlook for economic development. In addition, Japanese policymakers are anxious that the inflation rate could go below 2%; hence, an extremely liberal policy is the best alternative.
