Key Facts

1Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif proposed a 10-point plan from Iran to the US to avoid escalation.

2Pakistani mediation reportedly convinced the US not to launch an attack on Iranian infrastructure.

Global markets experienced a sharp U-turn in sentiment following reports of a successful Pakistani mediation effort to de-escalate tensions between Iran and the US. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reportedly proposed a 10-point plan designed to avert a direct military conflict and stabilize the region. The diplomatic initiative successfully convinced the US government to refrain from targeting Iranian energy infrastructure, according to recent reports. As a result, the geopolitical risk premium in oil and gold prices significantly diminished, leading to a retreat in commodity valuations. Conversely, equity markets and risk-sensitive currencies found relief as the immediate threat of energy supply disruptions faded. Investors remain cautious, closely monitoring the implementation of the de-escalation plan and its impact on global energy security.
