*US dollar consolidates as markets await clearer geopolitical direction
*U.S.–Iran tensions create volatility in oil prices and yields
*New Iranian proposal raises hopes of ceasefire extension
Market Summary:
The US dollar index remained range-bound as market participants struggled to establish a clear direction amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding U.S.–Iran developments.
Geopolitical tensions have continued to drive fluctuations in oil prices and U.S. Treasury yields, creating a mixed environment for the dollar. Over the weekend, Donald Trump signaled a firm stance by canceling a planned diplomatic trip, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated that Tehran would not negotiate under pressure. The breakdown in talks initially supported oil prices and, in turn, provided some support to the dollar through rising inflation expectations and yields.
However, sentiment shifted during early Asian trading hours as Iran reportedly presented a new proposal to the United States, aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and extending the ceasefire to allow for broader negotiations. The proposal includes delaying nuclear discussions in favor of immediate de-escalation efforts. This development has raised cautious optimism that tensions may ease, which could reduce oil prices, lower yields, and weigh on the dollar.
Attention is also turning toward the upcoming policy decision from the Federal Reserve, which may be a pivotal event for markets. The meeting is expected to provide further guidance on the interest rate outlook, particularly as leadership transition expectations build toward Kevin Warsh potentially succeeding Jerome Powell.
Meanwhile, gold prices edged lower, pressured by a firmer dollar and expectations that the Federal Reserve may maintain a relatively hawkish stance. Higher interest rate expectations increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets such as gold, limiting its upside despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. Overall, both the US dollar and gold remain sensitive to a combination of geopolitical headlines and monetary policy expectations, with market participants closely monitoring U.S.–Iran developments and central bank signals for clearer direction.
Technical Analysis
GOLD, H4
Gold prices are trading lower, currently consolidating around the 4,675.00 support level, which serves as a key near-term floor.
Momentum remains tilted to the downside, with the MACD strengthening in bearish territory and the RSI at 47 below the midline, indicating persistent selling pressure.
A confirmed break below 4,675.00 could extend losses toward the next support at 4,610.00, with further downside if momentum accelerates.
However, if the pair holds above support, a technical rebound may occur, with prices likely to retest the 4,730.00 resistance level, followed by 4,785.00 if recovery strengthens.
Resistance Levels: 4,730.00, 4,785.00
Support Levels: 4,675.00, 4,610.00
