What it means

Progress in US-Iran diplomatic talks has historically been associated with a meaningful decline in crude oil prices as the Strait of Hormuz closure risk and Middle East supply premium recede. Lower energy costs and reduced geopolitical uncertainty tend to support broader equity markets and reduce demand for safe-haven assets like gold in the short term. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
