US President Trump: Iran's proposal is a stupid proposal

Agustin Wazne FXStreet

United States (US) President Donald Trump said that Iran’s proposal was “stupid” and that they agreed on his terms, but then reversed on them. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday.

Key takeaways:

Iran's proposal is a stupid proposal.

Iranians said US can have nuclear material but would have to take it out.

Iran agrees with US, then reverses itself.

Iran did not mention not pursuing nuclear weapon in letter.

I am very disappointed in the Kurds.

Ceasefire is on life support.”

EUR/USD stays consolidative around 1.1370

EUR/USD regains momentum and trades with modest gains around 1.1370 ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair sets aside three daily declines in a row and picks up pace on the back of the lacklustre performance of the US Dollar, particularly after US data failed to reinforce Fed rate hike bets.

Micron prints perfect, and now the chart has to answer

Memory’s biggest name just delivered the cleanest quarter of its life, and the most interesting thing about it is that the stock isn’t sure what to do with it. Micron closed out fiscal Q3 with revenue of $41.5 billion, up 346% on the year, a fifth straight record. Gross margin came in at 84.9%, up from 39% the same quarter a year ago. Earnings landed at $25.11 against a Street sitting near $20.49.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
