Highlights
Ongoing focus on President Trump's search for a way out of the mess in Iran and much of the Middle East. Oil prices now trading higher again after coming back down earlier on Trump's latest comment that he would delay by 10 days his threat to destroy Iran's power plants to allow talks.
Separately, another somewhat active day of Federal Reserve comments on tap starting with Richmond Fed's Tom Barkin at 11 am ET and followed by San Francisco Fed's Mary Daly and Philly Fed's Anna Paulson making introductory remarks at 11:30 am ET. Fed Governor Lisa Cook said Thursday the Iran situation has shifted the balance of risks toward inflation, and markets are keen to see how other policy-makers view the situation.
