According to a report by Irans Fars News Agency, citing its journalists, Iran and the United States failed to reach a consensus on their differences in the latest round of negotiations.According to a report by a correspondent for Iranian state television in Islamabad, talks between Iran and the United States will continue on Sunday.April 12th - Significant differences remain between the US and Iran, primarily regarding the Strait of Hormuz and the unfreezing of funds. Meanwhile, Israel remains a potential disruptor. Iranian media and analysts point out that the current situation can be described as a transitional phase between war and peace, with the regional situation remaining fragile. A comprehensive agreement between Iran and the US in the short term is unrealistic, but reaching a preliminary framework or a lasting cessation of hostilities is not impossible—however, it is crucial to consider whether Israel will seriously undermine this process at a critical moment.On April 12, local time, the third round of talks between Iran and the United States in Islamabad concluded. Iran described this round as the "last chance" to reach a framework agreement. Since April 11, the two sides had a busy schedule, consulting late into the night, with all parties vying for the temporary ceasefire window and intensifying their maneuvering. However, sharp differences remained on three core issues: control of the Strait of Hormuz, unfreezing overseas assets, and uranium enrichment. Outside the negotiating table, the US military announced mine-clearing operations in the Strait of Hormuz, while the Israeli Prime Minister declared that he would continue to strike Iran and its proxies. With the ceasefire window closing, diplomatic maneuvering and military actions are escalating simultaneously, and the situation in the Middle East is at a crossroads between war and peace.April 12 - According to a statement released by the Iranian government early this morning (April 12) via social media, negotiations with the United States will continue despite some remaining differences. Iranian state television reported that the third round of talks between Iran and the United States concluded earlier, with expert teams from both sides attending and exchanging texts again.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD oscillates about $1,650 as DXY recovers recent losses

Gold price (XAU/USD) is indecisive while rebounding from intraday lows to $1,650 ahead of Tuesday's European session.

 

Nevertheless, the yellow metal attracted purchasers earlier in the day due to a weaker U.S. dollar, but the currency's recent resurgence looks to have weighed on the price recently. It should be mentioned that unfavorable concerns regarding China, one of the world's largest gold consumers, have recently posed a threat to the pricing of precious metals.

 

In the absence of Fed-speak, the US Dollar Index (DXY) gains bids to reclaim the 112.00 mark while trimming its first weekly loss in three weeks. It should be emphasized that the Fed's aggressive rhetoric and weak US PMIs also support the DXY's safe-haven appeal.

 

China's efforts to protect its struggling economy and worldwide pessimism regarding Xi Jinping's third term, not to mention Hang Seng's decline to a 13-year low, impose downward pressure on market mood and the XAU/USD exchange rate.

 

US 10-year Treasury rates continue under pressure around 4.21 percent, down two basis points (bps), while US stock futures and Asia-Pacific markets are moderately bid.

 

Moving forward, second-tier US Housing data and Consumer Confidence indicators may delight gold speculators before Thursday's third-quarter US Gross Domestic Product report (Q3).
