Oil prices fall and markets rise on optimism over Iran ceasefire deal
European shares were mostly higher on Friday, and oil prices slipped as investor sentiment was fuelled by expectations of a deal between the US and Iran to extend the ceasefire in the war by 60 days. Iran has not publicly confirmed the deal, and the tentative agreement was still awaiting sign-off from US President Donald Trump.
