Summary
Trump cites 'very productive' Iran talks, hinting at diplomatic off-ramp; Swiss lawmakers vote to force UBS to hold more capital.
AI Analysis
Iran de-escalation hopes lower geopolitical risk premium and oil prices, cutting input costs for the broad market. UBS capital ruling is Europe-specific and single-stock; net effect mildly bullish for S&P 500 but headline-only with little confirmed progress.

- Short UBS (UBS) or fade strength on capital-requirement overhang from Swiss vote
