The civilian leadership, led by Iranian President Peshichizian, aims to unfreeze billions of dollars to alleviate the plight of millions of Iranians. However, other forces, including the now dominant Revolutionary Guard, have different plans. The Revolutionary Guard intends to maintain complete control of this crucial strait at all costs and plans to establish a lucrative toll system to both bolster the armed forces finances and dominate the security landscape of the entire region. The Revolutionary Guard has informed mediators that if they cannot obtain assurances in the Doha negotiations regarding Irans sole control of the Strait of Hormuz, they will close the waterway again. Furthermore, the organization has demanded that the United States and other countries abandon plans to allow ships to pass through the southern waters of the strait (closer to the Omani side).The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) revised its March U.S. crude oil production estimate upward by 22,000 barrels per day to 13.718 million barrels per day.

During the Asian session, the gold price (XAU/USD) is hovering in a narrow range around the immediate barrier of $1,870. The precious metal hopes to extend its uptrend in light of market players' increased risk appetite.

 

S&P500 futures have contributed to their gains during Friday's surge, indicating an optimistic market sentiment. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has detected resistance at 103.50 and is likely to find support near 103.00. The yields on 10-year US Treasuries have decreased to approximately 3.56 percent due to a loss in safe-haven attraction.

 

Amidst mounting prospects of a U.S. recession, the gold price is garnering considerable attention. Following a string of declines in the US ISM Manufacturing PMI, the Services PMI has also declined, indicating a decline in overall demand in the United States economy. The Services PMI dropped sharply to 49.6 compared to the predicted 55.0. In addition, the New Orders Index, a measure of future demand, plummeted to 45.2% as opposed to the anticipated 58.5%. The U.S. dollar is affected by a slowdown in economic activity and its expectations for the future.
