Bitcoin stays near the four-week high reached earlier as optimism over the prospect of renewed U.S.-Iran peace talks bolster risky assets. President Trump said the "right people" in Iran still want to make a deal after peace talks at the weekend collapsed. Bitcoin is supported by the same improvement in market mood linked to hopes of easing geopolitical tensions, Saxo Bank analysts say in a note. "At the same time, the start of earnings season is beginning to take focus, with a notable rebound in software stocks showing that parts of the market are looking through the Strait of Hormuz disruption," they say. Bitcoin rises 1.7% to $74,442 after rising to as high as $74,937 earlier, LSEG data show.
