1) The US wants oil prices to be lower
2) Iran can add 500k bpd right away and another 500k bpd by year end
That's the recipe for a deal. There's been a small further dip in oil prices on these headlines.

I think a high probability of a deal should be priced in but you never know with the oil market. Between this and the growing likelihood of peace in Ukraine, there's plenty of reason to suspect we will have lower oil prices by month end.
In the FX market, a deal could put some downward pressure on CAD .
