WSJ: Vance weighing direct talks with Iranian hardliner — potential de‑escalation catalyst for oil and markets

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
A decision to open direct talks is a policy-level development that could materially reduce regional escalation risk and the chance of oil-supply disruptions; if talks lead to de‑escalation, it would ease supply/demand pressure on oil markets and lower geopolitical risk premia for equities. This linkage is conditional on talks occurring and producing de‑escalation.
