US-Iran Talks to Proceed Amid Rising Tensions

US-Iran technical talks are set to continue despite rising tensions in the Middle East following two days of strikes that threatened to collapse an already fragile ceasefire. According to a US official, the US remains committed to a resolution and the talks will proceed on issues including nuclear matters, sanctions, and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

As a result, oil prices slipped lower, the US 10-year Treasury note eased, and the US dollar index fell, triggering a significant jump in Asian stock markets and crypto prices. Bitcoin (BTC) climbed above $64,000 after a more than 1% jump in just an hour, with a nearly 4% climb over the past two days.

XRP also bounced higher, holding near $1.11 amid positive developments. Dogecoin (DOGE) pumped more than 2% in the last four hours, currently trading at $0.074.
