Gold was little changed as uncertainty persisted over progress in US-Iran talks to end the war that’s roiled global markets. Bullion traded near $4,470 an ounce on Friday, having advanced nearly 1% in the previous session. US President Donald Trump said peace negotiations were in the “ final ” stages, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said earlier that “no tangible progress has been achieved.” Tehran-backed Hezbollah meanwhile rejected a Washington-brokered truce between Israel and Lebanon, casting doubt over Trump’s attempts to end regional hostilities. This week has seen the most serious clashes in the Middle East since a ceasefire was agreed in early April.

Gold has lost about 15% since the start of the conflict in late February and has traded in a narrow band in the last few weeks. Spot gold edged down 0.1% to $4,470.10 an ounce as of 7:04 a.m. Singapore time. Silver rose 0.1% to $73.95 an ounce. Platinum fell marginally, while palladium ticked up. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was flat after ending the previous session 0.1% lower.

DOJ Opens Investigation Into Suspected Race-Based Practices At Arizona State University Authored by Kimberly Hayek via The Epoch Times , The Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division has launched a Title VI investigation into diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices at Arizona State University (ASU), one of the country's largest public universities. View of the campus of Arizona State University, a public research university located in Phoenix, Arizona. Shutterstock Wednesday's announcement comes after recent viral videos that appear to show university personnel participating in or concealing the handling of distinguishing students by race, color, or national origin. Federal officials noted the videos raised the prospect that ASU may have violated civil rights protections while benefiting from considerable taxpayer support. "No student should be denied access to opportunities or resources because of race, color, or national origin," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department's (DOJ's) Civil Rights Division said. "The United States is committed to keeping universities free of unlawful discrimination - especially when they try to hide illegal conduct to avoid oversight and compliance." Federal law does not allow discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin at institutions that receive federal funding. ASU has 194,000 students enrolled across its campuses as of the 2024-2025 school year and receives hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants and aid annually , public records from the U.S. Department of Education show. The Civil Rights Division's investigation will determine whether ASU's DEI-related policies result in illegal discrimination in areas including admissions, recruitment, scholarships, tutoring, and educational support services. Officials underscored that the investigation is underway. This action comes amid a broader national effort to examine university practices following changes to federa...
