What it means
A pause in US strikes on Iran has historically been associated with an unwind of the crude oil risk premium that built during active hostilities, along with softer safe-haven gold demand. Broad equities may see a modest short-term relief rally, though uncertainty around Strait of Hormuz control and ongoing ceasefire talks keeps the picture fluid.
