US and Iran pause their attacks after days of escalation
What it means
A pause in US-Iran hostilities after active escalation has historically been associated with an unwinding of the crude oil risk premium, softer gold prices as safe-haven demand fades, and a modest relief rally in broad equities. This is a genuine de-escalation signal — distinct from the ongoing low-level tension already priced in — but the move may be limited if markets doubt the pause's durability.
