President Donald Trump has announced a five-day postponement of planned military strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure, citing "productive conversations." However, the Iranian government has denied that any direct talks took place, leading to conflicting reports in global media. Analysts suggest the delay could be a tactical move to wait for the arrival of US Marines reinforcements in the Middle East this Friday. This temporary de-escalation has bolstered risk sentiment, providing a lift to equity markets and the SPY index. Nevertheless, WTI Crude and XAU/USD remain volatile as the underlying threat to the Strait of Hormuz and regional energy security persists. Investors are now closely monitoring the situation as the new deadline approaches, weighing geopolitical risks against potential diplomatic breakthroughs.
