Iran-US war latest: Trump pauses nightly attacks to make room for talks, says ambassador
Context
Oil prices fall as US and Iran pause their attacks for a second straight day
What it means
A pause in US-Iran military exchanges to allow diplomatic talks has historically been associated with a pullback in crude oil's conflict risk premium, softer gold prices as safe-haven demand fades, and a modest lift to broad equities. This is a genuine new development — a shift from active strikes to a negotiating pause — not merely a continuation of prior signals.
