●  The Brief

 Gold rises as Middle East fighting pause weighs on oil

Gold climbed 0.85% to $4,102 after the U.S. halted strikes on Iran, reducing immediate geopolitical risk and shifting safe-haven flows as oil prices fell sharply. (Investing)

 Oil prices tumble over 8% amid halt to fighting between U.S., Iran

Crude oil fell more than 8% after the U.S. bombing pause, signaling reduced Middle East conflict risk and easing inflation concerns tied to energy costs. (Investing)

 European gas tumbles 9% as Middle East truce signals pull down energy

Natural gas in Europe dropped 9% following the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, reflecting lower perceived supply disruption risk from the region's largest energy producer. (Investing)

 Iran says it will halt strikes as long as US bombing pause holds

Iran confirmed it will maintain a ceasefire reciprocally, removing near-term escalation risk and potentially reducing the safe-haven appeal that has supported gold prices. (Investing)

Metals 101

What is the GDX?

An ETF holding a basket of gold-mining companies. It moves with gold but with extra leverage β€” miners' profits swing more than the metal, so the GDX often amplifies gold's ups and downs.

β€œMetals mirror the dollar and the day's mood β€” a description, not a forecast.”

Gold Mornings is an educational digest for US readers. Nothing here is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Metals carry risk β€” you can lose money, and past performance does not predict future results. Some links may be affiliate links; we may earn a commission at no cost to you. Prices via Yahoo Finance, captured each morning before the US open.
