🛢️ OIL Brent crude around $108/bbl after easing from last week's highs near $116, as Iran sent an updated peace proposal to mediators over the weekend. The Strait of Hormuz closure and US naval blockade continue to keep energy prices elevated.
🥇 GOLD Spot gold near $4,614/oz - down ~2% over the past week. High oil prices are feeding inflation fears, reinforcing expectations that central banks will keep rates higher for longer, weighing on the yellow metal.
