AlexSecret The Swiss franc ( CHF:USD ) and Japanese yen ( JPY:USD ) strengthened as currency markets reopened following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, escalating tensions across the Middle East. The euro slipped about 0.4% against the dollar to roughly $1.18 and fell to its weakest level against the Swiss franc since 2015, Reuters reported Sunday. The dollar ( DXY ) edged lower versus the yen and the franc, though it gained against the British pound and Australian dollar. Currency trading began late Sunday in thin volumes, but early moves often set the tone for broader markets. Investors are closely watching energy prices, widely seen as the key driver for stocks, bonds and foreign exchange in the days ahead. Oil traders said Brent crude ( CO1:COM ) was already up 8% to 10% in over-the-counter trading near $80 a barrel, reflecting concerns about supply disruptions. Roughly 20% of global oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping activity has slowed sharply. Analysts expect higher oil prices, firmer gold and weaker global equities if tensions persist. Most Gulf stock markets declined Sunday, with Kuwait halting trading and the UAE closing exchanges Monday. China’s markets are also in focus given its reliance on Iranian crude. Strategists told Reuters that markets are weighing two main scenarios: a contained conflict with limited economic fallout, or a prolonged disruption that triggers a broader oil shock. The latter would likely push up commodity prices, inflation expectations and bond yields while weighing on growth. The U.S. dollar’s role as a safe haven may also be tested. While it often strengthens during global crises, some analysts argue that recent policy uncertainty in Washington could blunt its traditional appeal. Meanwhile, bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) briefly dipped below $64,000 before stabilizing near prior levels, underscoring shifting risk sentiment. More on Swiss Franc / US Dollar, Japanese Yen ...

JohnnyGreig/iStock via Getty Images Physical gold shipments through Dubai are expected to slow sharply after airlines suspended flights in the wake of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and Tehran’s retaliation, Reuters reported Sunday, citing metals industry sources. Dubai is a key transit hub for bullion bound for major markets such as Switzerland, Hong Kong and India. Because of gold’s high value relative to its weight, it is typically transported by air for security and insurance reasons, making flight disruptions particularly impactful. One industry source said most carriers have halted service, effectively pausing gold movements for at least several days. The broader effect on global supply will depend on how long the aviation disruptions last, the sources added, speaking anonymously because they were not authorized to comment publicly. Spot gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) on Friday to $5,277 per troy ounce, its highest level since late January. Analysts expect further safe-haven demand when markets reopen, though near-term trading is likely to be driven more by financial flows in centers such as Shanghai, London and New York than by physical shipments. A precious metals trader cited by Reuters noted that major hubs including China, India, New York, London and Zurich continue operating normally for now, even as Dubai’s role as a transit point faces temporary strain.

Iran’s supreme leader was killed in a military strike on his compound as Israel and the US launched attacks on the country. Patrick Wintour reports He survived imprisonment, assassination attempts, decades of protests and exerted a brutal iron grip on Iran’s 90 million people. Now, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is dead. He was killed by US and Israeli air strikes that levelled the compound where he and some of the most senior regime leaders were sheltering. As news of the ayatollah’s death emerged, there was public mourning on the streets of Iran. There were also ecstatic celebrations, inside Iran and around the world, explains Patrick Wintour . Iran has launched retaliatory strikes and vows vengeance, and it is still unclear whether his assassination will bring about the regime change that Donald Trump so clearly desires. It is also unclear what will happen next for Iran, where the air strikes continue and the death toll is spiralling. Continue reading...
