Iran talks in doubts as Trump says ceasefire 'over'
Context
US President Donald Trump said the ceasefire with Iran was "over" Wednesday but left the door open to more talks, after fighting flared sparked by Iranian attacks on ships in the vital Strait of Hormuz. "As far as I'm concerned, it's over," Trump said at a NATO summit in Turkey on Wednesday when asked if the truce was intact. "I'll let our wonderful negotiators keep talking if they want, but I don't see it. I don't like these people," he added.
What it means
Trump's declaration that the ceasefire is 'over', combined with active Iranian attacks on Strait of Hormuz shipping, introduces a new and more direct supply disruption channel beyond the Israel-Lebanon conflict already tracked — historically associated with sharp crude oil spikes and elevated tanker risk premiums. Gold already had an upward call in place, but the Hormuz dimension adds fresh reinforcement. The door Trump left open to continued talks tempers the magnitude somewhat.
