Oil pared gains on a report that the US and Iran have reached a preliminary agreement to extend the ceasefire between the two countries and launch negotiations on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. The memorandum of understanding would extend the truce by 60 days and states that shipping through the vital Strait of Hormuz would be "unrestricted," without any tolls paid to Iran, but the potential pact still requires President Trump's approval, Axios reported. Trump wants several days to mull over the deal, according to the report. An agreement to extend the truce would represent a diplomatic breakthrough and potentially bring the US and Iran closer to reopening normal maritime traffic through the strait, which usually carries around a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supply.

Real estate mogul Tilman Fertitta's years-long quest to buy Caesars Entertainment Inc. is finally paying off: His firm struck a $5.7 billion, all-cash deal for the Las Vegas company on Thursday that will add some 52 casinos in the US to his entertainment empire. Fertitta's pursuit of Caesars dates as far back as 2018, when the owner of the Golden Nugget casinos approached the company about a possible merger. Fertitta had borrowed heavily to buy the Houston Rockets basketball team for $2.2 billion, and the potential merger was seen at the time as a means of folding his debt into a larger company.  Fertitta eventually built a stake in Caesars, signaling his continued interest in a tie-up. As part of the takeover announced on Thursday, Fertitta Entertainment Inc. is paying Caesars shareholders $31 a share in cash. We get reaction from Jody Lurie, Senior Credit Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence.
