Iranian armed forces attacked a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, briefly halting traffic through the waterway. The strike threatens a fragile US-Iran arrangement and could push shipping insurance costs and oil prices higher.
Gold is on track for a fourth consecutive weekly decline as rising U.S. rate-hike bets strengthen the dollar, pressuring the metal's price. A fragile U.S.-Iran agreement and a Strait of Hormuz incident add geopolitical risk but have not been enough to offset the dollar's pull.
President Donald Trump is pursuing a diplomatic off-ramp from potential military conflict with Iran, with reports suggesting a possible US-Iran agreement is taking shape. A deal could ease pressure on global oil markets, but terms and timeline remain unconfirmed.
President Trump said a nuclear deal with Iran could be signed over the weekend, with documents in "pretty final shape," and confirmed the agreement would include opening the Strait of Hormuz. A credible deal would remove a major oil-price risk premium and could add Iranian crude supply back to global markets.
President Trump cancelled planned US military strikes against Iran on Thursday, saying diplomatic talks had made enough progress to stand down. The reversal, coming hours after Trump threatened to hit Iran very hard, removes immediate conflict risk but leaves the broader standoff unresolved.
The US dollar is heading for a weekly decline after reports of a potential US-Iran ceasefire deal reduced demand for safe-haven assets. A confirmed agreement could extend dollar weakness and lift emerging market currencies and commodity prices.
Oil prices eased after reports emerged that the US and Iran may be nearing a ceasefire deal, reducing the geopolitical risk premium in crude markets. A formal agreement could eventually lead to more Iranian oil supply, pressuring prices further.
The U.S. and Iran are close to a deal that would see Tehran give up its highly enriched uranium stockpile and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, regional officials say.
The US and Iran have reached a preliminary agreement in principle that includes Iran disposing of its highly enriched uranium and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Final approval from President Donald Trump and Iran's Supreme Leader is still pending, keeping oil markets on alert.
President Trump claimed a deal with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz is largely negotiated, but semi-official Iranian outlet Fars News denied any such agreement. The strait carries roughly 20 percent of global oil supply, so any resolution or continued standoff will directly affect energy prices.
Trump said a peace deal with Iran is largely negotiated and includes terms to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran rejected the claim as incomplete and inconsistent with reality, leaving the status of any agreement unclear.
President Donald Trump said a nuclear deal with Iran is largely negotiated and awaiting finalization, with terms that include reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Confirmation of the agreement could ease oil market risk premiums and reduce the threat of disruption to a waterway carrying roughly 20 percent of global traded
Trump called Iran's peace proposal "garbage" and declared the ceasefire on "life support" as the Strait of Hormuz stays closed. He proposed suspending the federal gasoline tax to offset rising fuel prices driven by the supply disruption.
President Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire is "on massive life support" after calling Iran's response to a peace proposal "stupid." The breakdown raises the risk of renewed conflict and could push oil prices higher if the diplomatic track collapses entirely.
President Trump called Iran's latest ceasefire proposal "totally unacceptable," throwing peace talks into doubt. A return to open conflict could reignite the Middle East war and worsen the ongoing global energy crisis.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said the US dismissed Iran's latest response in nuclear talks and accused Washington of making unreasonable demands. A public breakdown in positions raises risks for oil markets and complicates any near-term diplomatic agreement.
President Trump has rejected Iran's response to a US peace proposal, stalling negotiations and leaving the Middle East conflict without a diplomatic path forward. The breakdown raises the risk of escalation and adds uncertainty to regional oil supply.
Brent crude jumped $3.18 to $104.47 a barrel after US-Iran peace talks collapsed, adding to Friday's gains for a roughly 4% two-day rally. The breakdown removes the prospect of fresh Iranian supply and adds a geopolitical risk premium to oil markets.
President Trump rejected Iran's latest response to a U.S. ceasefire proposal, delivered through Pakistani mediators on Sunday. The breakdown keeps diplomatic tensions elevated and adds uncertainty to Middle East stability and energy markets.
Iran has responded to a US peace proposal while warning against any new attacks on Iranian territory. The response arrived just before a US-China summit in South Korea, adding diplomatic weight to an already sensitive moment.
