US-Iran nuclear talks jolt stocks and gold, but Bitcoin won't budge

Washington and Tehran are inching toward a nuclear framework that would let Iran keep enriching uranium up to 3.67% — a cap Tehran has accepted, according to tokenpost.com. Talks are also underway about letting International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors back into the country, and an initial deal on enrichment levels could land soon.

Markets heard the signal loud and clear. In Monday's U.S. session the S&P 500 notched its biggest one-day gain in seven months, with both the index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing more than 2% higher. A semiconductor index jumped nearly 7%, stretching its two-day run to 11%.

Crude got hammered. Brent slid nearly 8% at its session low and U.S. crude dropped more than 6%, while gold, silver and copper bounced and the dollar index slipped.

Bitcoin skipped the party. The coin sat at $75,255 at 6:58 p.m. ET Nov. 9 (23:58 UTC), leaving crypto parked outside the broader rebound.

President Donald Trump, speaking after a Monday meeting with Qatar's prime minister, said military action was not necessary for now — while keeping the U.S. ready to move if conditions in the Middle East shift.
