Major U.S. equity indices have opened higher this morning, benefiting from signs that Iran is moving toward peaceful and possibly near-term resolution of the current crisis. Oil is down as a result. We previously expressed our view that oil would ease, and continue to expect a near term resolution to drive a sharp drop-back to $62 or lower.
