Trump's Iran remarks hit gold; prices slide as oil spikes
AI Market Summary
Escalating U.S.-Iran tensions after Trump declared the interim agreement "over" triggered a sharp risk repricing: crude jumped >5% on supply-risk and inflation fears, while the DXY strengthened on safe-haven demand. Gold sold off ~2% despite geopolitical stress, suggesting liquidation and higher real-rate/inflation-volatility dynamics dominated near-term positioning. Cross-asset volatility is likely to stay elevated as markets reassess energy-linked inflation and policy path risks.

Gold prices tumbled as much as 2% within about two hours on Wednesday after President Donald Trump said an interim deal aimed at ending the conflict with Iran was "over," reviving worries about higher energy costs and stickier inflation.
Speaking at the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump said he no longer wanted to engage with Tehran, effectively undoing a memorandum of understanding signed only weeks ago to end their four-month conflict.
Iran said it had targeted U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait after U.S. forces struck Iranian targets in response to attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
Crude oil prices jumped more than 5% to a two-week high. The U.S. Dollar Index also firmed to its strongest level in about a week as traders wagered the standoff could keep energy prices and inflation elevated for longer.
