Gold subdued as dollar gains, markets await Iran response
Ammon News - Gold prices edged lower on Monday as investors favoured the dollar following the U.S. attack on key Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend, with markets closely watching for Iran's response. Spot gold was down 0.2% at $3,362.29 an ounce, as of 0341 GMT. U.S. gold futures fell 0.2% to $3,378. "The US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities resulted in the dollar receiving safe haven buying flows in the currency market," KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer said. "This USD uptick had pegged gold back and caused an uncharacteristically subdued performance from the precious metal despite risks stemming from the conflict." The dollar rose 0.2% against its rivals, making gold more expensive for other currency holders. U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday raised the question of a regime change in Iran following U.S. strikes against key military sites over the weekend, as senior officials in his administration warned Tehran against retaliation. Elsewhere, spot silver rose 0.2% at $36.07 per ounce, platinum edged 0.1% higher to $1,269.17, while palladium gained 0.2% to $1,046.62. Reuters

Oil surges to five-month high after US hits Iran's key nuclear sites
Ammon News - Oil prices jumped on Monday to their highest since January as the United States' weekend move to join Israel in attacking Iran's nuclear facilities stoked supply concerns. Brent crude futures were up $1.52 or 1.97% to $78.53 a barrel as of 0503 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude advanced $1.51 or 2.04% to $75.35. Both contracts jumped by more than 3% earlier in the session to $81.40 and $78.40, respectively, touching five-month highs before giving up some gains. The rise in prices came after U.S. President Donald Trump said he had "obliterated" Iran's main nuclear sites in strikes over the weekend, joining an Israeli assault in an escalation of conflict in the Middle East as Tehran vowed to defend itself. Iran is OPEC's third-largest crude producer. Market participants expect further price gains amid mounting fears that an Iranian retaliation may include a closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly a fifth of global crude supply flows. Iran's Press TV reported that the Iranian parliament had approved a measure to close the strait. Iran has in the past threatened to close the strait but has never followed through. Iran and Israel exchanged air and missile strikes on Monday, as global tensions rose over Tehran's expected response to a U.S. attack on its nuclear facilities. Brent has risen 13% since the conflict began on June 13, while WTI has gained around 10%. Given the Strait of Hormuz is indispensable for Iran's own oil exports, which are a vital source of its national revenues, a sustained closure would inflict severe economic damage on Iran itself, making it a double-edged sword, Sachdeva added. Meanwhile, Japan on Monday called for de-escalation of the conflict in Iran, while a South Korean vice industry minister voiced concern over the potential impact of the strikes on the country's trade.

Oil prices spike after US strikes on Iran nuclear sites
Oil prices surged in early trade Monday on concerns of disruption to energy markets after US air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Asian stocks were lower as traders digested the weekend's events, with Iran threatening US bases in the Middle East as fears grow of an escalating conflict in the volatile region. Iran is the world's ninth-biggest oil-producing country, with output of about 3.3 million barrels per day. It exports just under half of that amount and keeps the rest for domestic consumption. And if Tehran decides to retaliate, observers say one of its options would be to seek to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz – which carries one-fifth of global oil output. As trading opened on Monday, Brent and the main US crude contract WTI both jumped more than four percent to hit their highest price since January. They pared these gains, however and at around 00:30 GMT Brent was up 2.2 percent at $79.20 per barrel and WTI was 2.1 percent higher at $75.98. Economists at MUFG warned of "high uncertainty of the outcomes and duration of this war", giving a "scenario analysis" of an oil price increase of $10 per barrel. "An oil price shock would create a real negative impact on most Asian economies" as many are big net energy importers, they wrote, reflecting the market's downbeat mood. Tokyo's key Nikkei index was down 0.6 percent while Seoul fell 1.4 percent and Sydney was 0.7 percent lower. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday that the strikes had "devastated the Iranian nuclear programme", though some officials cautioned that the extent of the damage was unclear. It comes after 'Israel' launched a bombing campaign against Iran earlier this month. Chris Weston at Pepperstone said Iran was able to inflict economic damage on the world without taking the "extreme route" of trying to close the Strait of Hormuz. "By planting enough belief that they could disrupt this key logistical channel, maritime costs could rise to the point that it would have a significant impact on the supply of crude and gas," he wrote in a note published Monday. At the same time, "while Trump's primary focus will be on the Middle East, headlines on trade negotiations could soon start to roll in and market anxieties could feasibly build", he added.
