At the same time, oil jumped over 4%, reclaiming the $75/barrel level for the first time since losing it in mid-June. While U.S. President Donald Trump later said Iran is open to another round of negotiations, the damage to risk sentiment has already been done. On Polymarket, the odds of oil trading…
