According to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump stated on social media: "Iran must agree that they will never have nuclear weapons or nuclear bombs. The Strait of Hormuz must be opened immediately in both directions, with no tolls, allowing shipping traffic to pass unrestricted. All mines (bombs)------if any------will be cleared (we have previously utilized our excellent underwater mine-sweeping ships to clear a large number of such mines by detonation. Iran will be responsible for immediately clearing and/or detonating any remaining mines------there shouldn't be too many!).Those ships that have been stranded in the strait due to our astonishing and unprecedented naval blockade------given that the blockade has now been lifted------can begin to "set sail for home"! The concentrated materials that are buried deep underground------sometimes referred to as "nuclear dust"------are currently being pressed under a mountain that has nearly collapsed (this is due to the powerful B-2 bomber airstrikes we launched 11 months ago); these materials will be excavated by the United States and will be thoroughly destroyed in close coordination and cooperation with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Until further notice, there will be no financial transactions between the two parties.In addition, the two sides have reached a consensus on other issues that are far less important than the above matters. I am now heading to the "situation room" for a meeting to make the final decision." AXIOS reporters interpret that Trump hinted at an imminent approval of the Iran agreement.

Michael Widmer, Managing Director and Head of Metal Research at Bank of America, stated that gold prices will face pressure in the short term due to a decline in market expectations for U.S. interest rate cuts. However, the bank maintains a bullish outlook on gold and reiterates its forecast for gold prices to rise to $6,000 per ounce in the next 12 months.The current pressure on gold is related to the market's repricing of inflation risks and the path of U.S. interest rates against the backdrop of rising energy prices due to the Middle East conflict.
