Trump could ease Iran sanctions and unfreeze assets

The reported swap is tied to progress on nuclear talks, which could shift investor risk sentiment and affect demand for safe-haven currencies.

Al Jazeera reported that President Donald Trump is prepared to ease sanctions on Iran and unfreeze its assets in exchange for progress on nuclear negotiations.

The story links potential sanction relief to investor positioning in global markets, describing how “risk-on” periods tend to support risky assets while “risk-off” periods shift capital toward safety.

According to the report, in risk-off conditions bonds rise and safe-haven currencies such as the Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and US dollar benefit, while other assets like gold and certain government bonds see stronger demand.
