  • US Plans to Unfreeze $20 Billion in Funds for Iran's Uranium Cessation

    On April 17, according to AXIOS, two US officials and two sources familiar with the negotiations revealed that the US and Iran are negotiating a three-page plan to end the conflict, one element of which involves the US unfreezing $20 billion of Iranian funds in exchange for Iran abandoning its enriched uranium stockpile. According to the two sources, in the early stages of negotiations, the US proposed unfreezing $6 billion for humanitarian supplies, while Iran requested $27 billion. The latest figures being discussed between the US and Iran are $20 billion. One US official stated that this is the US proposal. Another US official described the concept of 'cash for uranium' as 'one of many discussions.' Meanwhile, the US is demanding that Iran agree to send all its nuclear materials to the US, while Iran has only agreed to 'dilution' within its territory. Under the compromise being discussed, some highly enriched uranium would be sent to a third country (not necessarily the US), while some would be diluted under international supervision within Iran.

  • Senator Pressures U.S. DOJ and Treasury on Binance-Iran Fund Flow Issues

    On April 17, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (Democrat, Connecticut) sent a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) requesting clarification on the status of two compliance supervisors at Binance. Reports had previously indicated that internal investigators at Binance warned executives about over $1 billion in funds flowing to wallets related to Iran, but were subsequently fired. Binance denies that the dismissals were related to the investigation's findings and claims that its compliance system is stringent. Notably, the DOJ had previously terminated independent oversight requirements for Glencore and Boeing, raising concerns about whether similar oversight mechanisms have also been suspended for Binance. In 2023, Binance was fined $4.3 billion for failures in anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance, and the two supervisors were part of the agreement at that time.

  • Goldman Sachs: Without Monetary Policy Support, US Stock Gains May Be Unsustainable

    On April 17, Goldman Sachs' head of asset allocation research, Muller-Grissman, stated that the recent rise in US stocks requires the Federal Reserve to restart interest rate cuts to maintain momentum. He described the recent stock market rebound as a 'rapid and intense recovery phase,' partly driven by technical factors, including hedge funds that previously sold stocks to reduce risk now being forced to rebuild their positions. Although the S&P 500 is expected to rise over 3% for three consecutive weeks, he questioned whether the gains could be sustained without monetary policy support. He noted that while the stock market is rising, oil prices remain high and the credit market is lagging. The strong performance of the stock market is partly due to high exposure to technology stocks.

  • Trump Signals Flexibility in Iran Negotiations
