What happened
Oil prices eased 1.2% as traders assessed the prospects of resumed talks between the United States and Iran regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and lifting Washington's economic blockade of Tehran. Conversely, oil prices rose about 2% when US-Iran diplomatic talks showed little sign of progress. On September 25, spot gold prices were firmer as oil prices fell due to renewed diplomacy hopes.

Why it matters
Geopolitical developments in the Middle East drive energy shocks and inflation, forcing the FED to manage monetary policy and economic expectations Middle East. Lower oil prices helped ease pressure on North American equities, which finished higher as a result of the crude oil retreat. Meanwhile, persistently high energy costs make it harder for central banks to maintain current interest rates.
Geopolitical developments involving the Middle East, including talks on ceasefires and sanctions relief for Iran, are being analyzed amid shifts in US policy and market trends.
