reports emerged that the United States and Iran had reached a preliminary agreement aimed at extending the current ceasefire and launching negotiations over Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both climbed to fresh record highs during the session following the news, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average traded little changed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Axios journalist Barak Ravid, US and Iranian negotiators reached an agreement on a 60-day memorandum of understanding designed to extend the ceasefire and begin talks surrounding Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, President Donald Trump had not yet granted final approval for the agreement, according to two US officials and a regional source involved in the mediation efforts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report helped improve market sentiment after investors had earlier remained cautious amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US dollar also extended losses following the headline.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proposed agreement focuses on ceasefire and nuclear talks<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Axios, the proposed memorandum of understanding would represent the most significant diplomatic development since the conflict began.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US officials reportedly said the broad terms of the agreement had largely been finalized by Tuesday, though approval from senior leadership on both sides was still required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe president relayed to the mediators that he wants a couple of days to think about it,\u201d a US official said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US officials also claimed Iranian negotiators later informed mediators that they had received the necessary approvals and were prepared to sign the agreement, though Iran has not publicly confirmed that position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed 60-day agreement would reportedly state that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would remain \u201cunrestricted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A US official cited in the report said the arrangement would involve \u201cno tolls and no harassment,\u201d while Iran would be required to remove all mines from the strait within 30 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also said the US naval blockade would be lifted gradually alongside the restoration of commercial shipping activity.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nuclear commitments and sanctions discussions included<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the report, the memorandum would also include an Iranian commitment not to pursue a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first stage of negotiations during the 60-day period would reportedly focus on the handling of Iran\u2019s highly enriched uranium and discussions surrounding uranium enrichment activity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US would also agree to discuss sanctions relief and the release of frozen Iranian funds during negotiations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the memorandum would include discussions surrounding mechanisms to help Iran begin receiving goods and humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US officials noted that while the agreement could represent a major diplomatic breakthrough, a final long-term deal addressing President Trump\u2019s nuclear demands would still require extensive additional negotiations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump and his advisers had previously believed they were nearing an agreement at several earlier stages of the conflict, though those efforts ultimately failed to produce a final deal.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Markets respond positively to easing geopolitical tensions<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Financial markets reacted positively to the latest developments as investors viewed the proposed agreement as potentially reducing the risk of broader regional disruption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.3% during the session, while the Nasdaq Composite also gained 0.3%, with both indexes reaching fresh all-time highs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 79 points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currency markets also reflected improving risk appetite, with the US dollar weakening after the report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed ceasefire extension and negotiations around the Strait of Hormuz are being closely monitored by investors, given the region\u2019s importance to global oil shipments and broader energy markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2026\/05\/28\/sp-500-rebounds-on-reports-of-us-iran-60-day-ceasefire-mou\/\">S&amp;P 500
