Odaily Planet Daily reported that strategists at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia believe that the US-Iran conflict may end in May rather than the previously expected June. Although the ceasefire has not ended the fighting, analysts see it as a sign of an end. In a report, analysts stated that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz indicates substantial progress toward a peace agreement. They added that although the plans proposed by the US and Iran seem to be seriously incompatible, the ceasefire suggests that, given that Iran's strategic leverage has not significantly decreased and US allies are still unwilling to provide assistance, the US is tentatively open to compromise. They further noted that the economic consequences of the war are continuing to accumulate, and if negotiations break down due to political restrictions, the market will react strongly and negatively.

Odaily Planet Daily reports: Strategists at Australia’s Commonwealth Bank believe the U.S.-Iran conflict may end in May rather than the June previously expected. Although the ceasefire has not put an end to the fighting, analysts view it as the beginning of the end. In a report, an analyst said that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz indicates that the peace agreement is making tangible progress. He added that, although the plans proposed by the U.S. and Iran appear to be severely incompatible, the fact that a ceasefire has been reached suggests that, given Iran’s strategic leverage has not been significantly reduced and U.S. allies remain unwilling to provide assistance, the U.S. is keeping an open mind toward compromise on a tentative basis. He added that the economic consequences of the war are continuing to build up; if negotiations break down due to political constraints, the market will respond with a strong negative reaction.
