Bitcoin rebounded above $78,000 during U.S. trading hours, reaching an intraday high of $78,940 as markets reacted to comments by President Donald Trump about the US-Iran war and oil prices. Trump said on Truth Social that Iran was interested in a deal and Washington was open to negotiations, while saying Tehran wanted an agreement quickly. Iranian state media rejected the claim that Tehran was seeking a rapid agreement. LiveSquawk, citing Iran's ILNA news agency and a Pakistani source, reported that the United States was seeking a phased agreement, but no final deal was confirmed. U.S. stocks also recovered, with about $570 billion returning to the market within three hours after more than $600 billion had been erased earlier. Oil remained near four-month highs, with U.S. crude around $103 a barrel and Brent near $108, as fighting continued to disrupt energy markets. Oman postponed planned talks involving Iran and regional countries over future control of the Strait of Hormuz, citing the interests of consensus. Fighting between Iran-backed Houthi forces and Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces intensified, raising concerns about Red Sea shipping and oil exports. Iran-linked groups were also blamed for attacks on Saudi infrastructure, increasing pressure on regional energy routes.
