The move could ease inflation worries and potentially boost interest in precious metals.

Pause In Planned Strikes Lifts Market Sentiment

President Donald Trump said the U.S. will hold off on striking Iranian energy facilities for five days, citing what he described as "constructive conversations" with Iran over the past two days. In a Truth Social post, he noted that talks will continue throughout the week and that the pause depends on whether those discussions make progress.

The announcement marks the clearest sign of de‑escalation since the conflict began three weeks ago. Oil prices immediately dropped more than 8%, while Dow futures surged over 900 points as markets reacted to the possibility that tensions may be cooling.

The shift comes just two days after Trump warned Iran that failing to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz would trigger U.S. strikes on major Iranian power plants.

Shortly after the pause was announced, however, Iran's Fars News Agency said Tehran has had no direct communication with Washington, either formally or through intermediaries.

Potential Relief For Inflation Pressures

The easing of tensions could help relieve some of the inflation pressure that has concerned the Federal Reserve. Fed Chair Jerome Powell recently noted that short‑term inflation expectations have risen, largely due to the spike in oil prices caused by Middle East supply disruptions. He also warned that higher energy costs would push overall inflation higher in the near term.

The Federal Open Market Committee kept interest rates at 3.5% to 3.75% on March 18 as inflation remained stubborn. Meanwhile, the 10‑year Treasury yield climbed to 4.41%, making non‑yielding assets like gold less attractive compared to Treasuries.
