Iran is reviewing a new U.S. proposal aimed at ending the war as President Trump issues fresh threats... a fragile ceasefire between the two sides has largely held since early April yet in-person talks hosted by Pakistan last month failed to produce a breakthrough. In the Asian market traders are watching how any escalation could ripple into oil supply risks and broader risk sentiment overnight. Bitcoin is trading at 80829 down 1.8 percent over the past 24 hours and remains within 2 percent of the 80K level... crypto markets are reflecting that geopolitical caution while SPX sits at 7365.12 flat on the session and the VIX ticks lower to 17.40. Chimera Investment declared a boosted quarterly dividend of 50 cents with an 11.1 percent increase and a forward yield near 14.67 percent... a positive for income focused equity names heading into tomorrow's U.S. open.
