Commodities: Oil Drops Amid Renewed Peace Deal Hopes

Spot gold rose 0.4% to $4,055.36 an ounce as oil slid more than $4 a barrel on hopes for a U.S.-Iran agreement, Reuters said.

  • On Monday, Gold prices rose as Oil slumped following President Donald Trump's decision to hold off attacks on Iran to pursue a deal regarding Tehran's nuclear ambitions and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Trump said talks with Iran will happen on Monday but declined to set a deadline for an agreement, seeking a quick resolution to reopen the strategic waterway.
  • Spot Gold rose 0.4% to $4,055.36 per ounce while Gold futures edged 0.2% higher, as the U.S. dollar weakened to its lowest since mid-June.
  • UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said, "We are back to the previous correlation, with gold rising when crude oil falls," noting lower oil prices are reducing rate hike expectations.
  • Three Federal Reserve officials expressed concerns on Friday that inflation will remain above the Fed's 2% target without immediate rate increases, while ADP employment data and nonfarm payrolls remain in focus this week.
