Some analysts pointed out that relevant news about the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement boosted market confidence. VIX index futures continued to decline, down 1.55% at present.

According to CCTV News, a source previously said that the United States and Iran had received a proposal for a ceasefire agreement, which may take effect on the 6th. The source said that Pakistan has drawn up a framework proposal to end the conflict and has communicated with the U.S. The proposal is intended to first achieve an immediate ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and then reach a final agreement within 15 to 20 days. The final agreement may include Iran’s commitment not to seek nuclear weapons in exchange for the lifting of sanctions and the unfreezing of frozen assets.

Homin Lee, a strategist at Singapore’s Lonho Bank, said: “For investors, the prediction game is still quite tricky. Investors’ focus will center on the military actions on both sides of the Persian Gulf, and whether, despite these attacks, the ability of ships in the Strait of Hormuz to pass through can further improve.”

Rob Subbaraman, Head of Global Macroeconomic Research at Nomura, said: “The market nerves are stretched tight, and there’s very little time left. There are only two possible outcomes—ceasefire or escalation.” He also noted that the tone of U.S. President Donald Trump shows a strong sense of urgency in the White House to end the war, while investors continue to hedge against escalation risk.

Rob Subbaraman also warned that the duration of this war has been long enough “to trigger a serious surge in inflation globally.” If the situation escalates further, the inflation shock could quickly evolve into a growth shock, leading to demand contraction and broad-based stagflation.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said that risks related to the war may make inflation even more stubborn, with interest rates higher than market expectations. The war in the Middle East increases the possibility of major “oil and commodity price shocks” and the reshaping of global supply chains.

Iran’s latest response

On the evening of April 6, according to Xinhua News Agency, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Baghaei said on the 6th that Iran has prepared responses to issues such as the war-ending proposal relayed by the mediator, and will disclose it to the public in due course.

On the day, Baghaei said at a press conference held in Tehran that a few days earlier, the U.S. had put forward some suggestions through the mediator. At the time, the Iranian side pointed out that the U.S. plan was “extremely excessive,” and Iran absolutely cannot accept it.

Baghaei said that Iran has put forward its own position based on its national interests, security, and the legitimate demands of the Iranian people. Iran has long been clear about its own goals and bottom line, and its position remains clear. “When the discussions started, we had already prepared a response. When the time is right, we will make it clear to the world.”

Baghaei pointed out that conveying positions through intermediaries is normal diplomatic behavior, and such communication will continue. However, negotiations can never be based on threats of a “ultimatum, acts of violence, or war crimes.” The lessons from earlier negotiations between Iran and the United States will not be ignored.

On the same day, Iranian Foreign Minister Aragchi called French Foreign Minister Barrot by phone, and the two sides exchanged views on the latest regional situation and on international issues related to attacks by Iran’s side on and by the U.S. and Israel against Iran.

Aragchi said that U.S. threats amount to the normalization of war crimes and acts of genocide. If carried out, Iran’s armed forces will certainly respond firmly and comprehensively. He emphasized that the consequences of such situations are not limited to Iran and the region, but will also cause destructive impacts on global energy markets and the economic system, and that all responsibility lies entirely with U.S. officials and the aggressors.

In the phone call, French Foreign Minister Barrot stressed that the war must be brought to an end and noted that attacks on infrastructure will further aggravate regional tensions. He also reiterated that the current crisis should be resolved through diplomatic channels.

At present, Iran’s retaliatory actions are still ongoing. According to CCTV International News, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran today (April 6) issued a statement saying that the IRGC Navy and the Aerospace Force jointly launched strikes in “Operation True Promise 4,” Wave 98.

The statement said that the U.S. amphibious assault ship “USS Tripoli” (LHA-7), carrying more than 5,000 U.S. sailors and Marines, was targeted by Iranian forces, forcing it to retreat deep into the southern part of the Indian Ocean. Iranian naval forces used cruise missiles to strike the Israeli cargo ship SDN7, and the missile hit the vessel, causing a large-scale fire. During this round of operations, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also used ballistic missiles to strike multiple strategic targets in northern and southern parts of Tel Aviv and Haifa, and targeted chemical industry enterprises in the southern city of Beersheba and defense industry enterprises in the central city of Petah Tikva.

The statement said that several aircraft at Kuwait’s Ali Al Salem air base were also precisely targeted in this round by Iranian drones and missiles.
