Huo Xing Finance reports: On June 15, despite Israel’s renewed interference last night and this morning, it was unable to prevent the U.S. and Iran from reaching a peace agreement. Trump stated that he has approved free passage through the Strait of Hormuz and authorized the immediate lifting of the U.S. Navy’s blockade on Iran. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister also confirmed that the text of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding has been finalized and will be officially signed in Switzerland this Friday, June 19. It should be noted that, according to Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister, this agreement is a “U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding,” and “final negotiations for a comprehensive agreement will take place within 60 days, focusing on the lifting of sanctions, nuclear issues, establishing the final mechanism for Iran’s reconstruction, and oversight and implementation.” Based on this, the market may still not feel fully assured about lasting peace in the Middle East. In response, Bitcoin quickly rebounded; according to market data, as of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $65,642.70, up 2.48% over 24 hours.

Meanwhile, in traditional finance, U.S. equities initially surged sharply before pulling back: the S&P 500 is currently at 7,493.9, up 0.59% over 24 hours. Micron is trading at $1,029, showing a notable premium compared to its after-hours price of $989. SPCX remains range-bound at $167.29.
