The expiration of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) on February 5, 2026, marked the end of the last bilateral U.S.-Russia nuclear arms control agreement limiting deployed strategic warheads to 1,550 each, with no extension or successor finalized despite Russia's proposal for a six-month informal freeze and resumed verification. U.S. officials have called for a modernized framework potentially incorporating China, but talks remain stalled amid Ukraine tensions, mutual suspensions of on-site inspections since 2022, and broader strategic stability concerns. No major diplomatic breakthroughs have occurred in the past month, leaving trader consensus skeptical of near-term deals; key watchpoints include potential backchannel negotiations or high-level summits before market resolution dates.
