U.S. President Donald Trump initiated an extension of the truce until progress is achieved in negotiations between the parties, Bloomberg reports, but confirmed that the U.S. Navy's blockade of Iranian ports will continue. In response, Iranian military officials stated they would not reopen this strategically important waterway as long as U.S. naval forces remain in place.
The U.S. blockade of Iranian vessels continues following the unsuccessful second round of talks. Iranian armed forces warned of possible large-scale strikes on pre-designated targets in response to ongoing threats from Trump.
On Wednesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that American naval forces intend to maintain the blockade of Iranian ports, targeting Tehran's key sources of revenue by restricting maritime trade.

On Tuesday, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde expressed concern about the highly uncertain outlook for the eurozone amid significant shocks to energy supplies linked to Middle East tensions and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

From a technical perspective, the pair is trading above key moving averages, and oscillators are positive, indicating a bullish bias. The current support lies at the 9-day EMA; if it fails to hold, the psychological level of 1.1700 may provide support. However, bulls should remain cautious after the recent failed attempt to break above the 1.1800 level.
