| USDCNY | Persistent Gulf disruption can favor the dollar against the yuan through energy-import and risk-premium channels. | Up1-5d | Iranian officials tied Hormuz reopening to multiple unresolved US concessions. |
| XAUUSD | Stalled conditions for reopening sustain demand for geopolitical hedges. | Up1-5d | Iran presented seven conditions before resuming normal passage through Hormuz. |
