Analyst: Unsuccessful U.S.-Iran negotiations could push oil prices higher again, further dampening risk sentiment
Charu Chanana, Chief Investment Strategist at Saxo Bank, stated that the failed U.S.-Iran negotiations represent a step backward. For markets, this implies that the earlier de-escalation trade is likely to unwind. Oil prices may rebound, risk sentiment will once again be hit, and the Strait of Hormuz—though not fully closed—will remain a tangible chokepoint risk. However, given the vast gap between the two sides’ positions on nuclear safeguards and the Strait of Hormuz, this outcome is hardly surprising. For the U.S. dollar, it means renewed safe-haven support—but unless there is a new military escalation, a broad-based surge is unlikely. Gold may benefit from renewed geopolitical hedge demand, though markets are not yet reverting fully to the worst-case inflation shock scenario. (Jin10 Data)
