What happened

Hello, this is Dylan Butts writing to you from Singapore.

Why it matters

Welcome to today's edition of the Daily Open newsletter.

Common ground

The ebb and flow of U.S.-Iran talks continued to steer markets on Wednesday, sending oil prices sharply lower and equities surging after officials signaled diplomatic efforts were ongoing.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
