What happened
Renewed tensions between the U.S. and Iran are driving global market volatility. Gold faced renewed pressure after Donald Trump rejected a proposal from Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, though initial optimism had briefly supported the metal. Meanwhile, Bank Indonesia stated it had reduced its spot market foreign exchange interventions to 30 percent of total interventions due to high costs.
Why it matters
The geopolitical instability in the Middle East is cited as a factor contributing to global economic uncertainty, impacting central bank policy. This includes the pressure on the Indonesian rupiah, which was hovering near 18,000 against the U.S. dollar, driven by rising oil prices and bond yields.
