| GC1! | Diplomatic engagement can reduce immediate demand for crisis hedges. | Downintraday | Witkoff said the completed round was constructive and promising, although no agreement was announced. |
| ZB1! | De-escalation supports duration through lower inflation risk, while reduced safe-haven demand can push rates higher. | Mixed1-5d | The meeting offered a possible route to lower oil disruption but produced no confirmed settlement. |
| DXY | Lower conflict risk weighs on safe-haven demand, while unresolved negotiations preserve demand for dollar liquidity. | Mixedintraday | The parties held talks but continued to state materially different conditions for a settlement. |
