JPMorgan Chase, DBS Bank, and other banks have already signed on as gold clearing members, and interbank gold trading is expected to rebound from 2027 onwards.As of 09:30 Beijing time, WTI crude oil futures fell 5.04%, and US natural gas futures fell 2.12%.Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi: We will maintain close coordination with the international community.Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi: We will do our utmost to achieve stability in the Middle East.Gold prices rose in early Asian trading on June 15th following the provisional peace agreement reached between the US and Iran. This agreement could help normalize oil supplies and ease market concerns about energy-driven inflation. Since the outbreak of the Middle East conflict in late February, gold prices have fallen by more than 20% due to high energy prices and supply chain disruptions leading to expectations of higher interest rates, dragging down the performance of this non-interest-bearing metal. Furthermore, safe-haven inflows have pushed up the US dollar, further increasing pressure. Analysts at ANZ Bank stated that the war reinforced structural reasons for investors to increase their gold allocations, including geopolitical divisions and waning confidence in bonds as a reliable portfolio diversification tool.
