BULLISH GOLD
Impact Score: 4/5
Region: Middle East
Source: Bloomberg
This is high impact because it directly flags the Strait of Hormuz, a critical energy chokepoint, and shows US-Iran tensions remain unresolved. Even though Washington is signaling a deal is possible, the explicit rejection of “tolls” keeps supply-risk and geopolitics bid for Gold.
Hormuz disruption risk can lift oil and inflation expectations, supporting Gold; Gulf anxiety and US-Iran friction sustain safe-haven demand; Not a clean de-escalation because the threat is being publicly rejected, not removed
