US and Iranian officials hold Qatar-mediated talks in New York on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending hostilities
Question
US and Iranian officials hold Qatar-mediated talks in New York on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending hostilities
Direct answer
Diplomatic engagement lowers the immediate probability of prolonged disruption to Gulf oil flows, weighing on crude and safe-haven demand while supporting risk-sensitive assets; the lack of a breakthrough limits conviction.

| GC=F | A lower perceived probability of a wider Gulf conflict reduces geopolitical safe-haven demand for gold. | Downintraday | Gold declined as markets responded to the US-Iran talks and easing energy-supply concerns. |
| DXY | Reduced oil-shock risk can ease inflation concerns and support expectations for relatively firmer US monetary conditions, while the dollar was reported stronger. | Upintraday | Market coverage reported a firmer dollar alongside the talks and lower oil prices. |
