Oil and Gold Plunge as Trump Backs Off From Iran Threat

However, the denial from Tehran raises questions about the sustainability of this de-escalation. Investors may remain cautious as the situation could change rapidly, and further developments in US-Iran relations will likely continue to influence market dynamics. The volatility observed today underscores the fragile balance between geopolitical tensions and market reactions.
