Good morning, you're listening to Markets Desk, and here's what's moving the needle right now.
Diplomacy is back on the calendar as President Trump confirmed Iran nuclear talks will resume Monday, walking back what had been a planned military strike. The shift matters for energy markets and risk appetite broadly — crude traders will be watching the tone of those negotiations closely, as any breakdown could reprice oil quickly to the upside.
Pivoting to Southeast Asia, Indonesia's Jakarta Composite Index is sitting just above six thousand two hundred thirty points after two consecutive sessions of gains totaling more than one hundred forty points, a move of roughly two point three percent. Momentum favors the bulls heading into Monday's open, with regional sentiment getting a quiet lift from easing geopolitical tension and steady commodity flows.
And in the crypto space, Galaxy Digital has pledged five million dollars to strengthen Bitcoin's quantum resistance, putting real capital behind what has long been a theoretical concern. Quantum computing powerful enough to crack Bitcoin's encryption remains years away at minimum, but the fact that institutional players are funding defensive research signals the risk is being taken seriously at the infrastructure level.
That's the tape. Markets Desk, signing off the floor.
