April 2 – Spot gold climbed 0.8% intraday, briefly topping $4,800 an ounce to notch a fifth straight gain. Market analysts cite a confluence of geopolitical tensions and policy expectations as driving continued safe-haven fund inflows into gold. On the news front, former President Trump is set to announce during gold trading hours that U.S. military action against Iran has “achieved all objectives,” signaling the end of the conflict and laying groundwork for a gradual U.S. withdrawal. Separately, the U.S. may transfer oversight of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to NATO, European nations, and Gulf countries—indicating Washington is seeking a “dignified exit” path. Against a backdrop of ongoing Iranian restrictions on Strait navigation and international oil prices topping $100 a barrel, market concerns over Middle East uncertainty and energy shocks are mounting. Combined with policy tensions and alliance rifts amid expectations the war is winding down, stronger safe-haven demand

April 2 (Financial Times) — Sources revealed that former U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to halt weapons supplies to Ukraine unless European nations joined the Strait of Hormuz Alliance. Last month, Trump requested NATO navies to help reopen the strait, but European governments rejected the proposal. Three officials familiar with the discussions said Trump responded by threatening to cut off support for the "Prioritized Ukraine Resilience on Land" (PURL) project. Under pressure from NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, key member states including France, Germany and the UK rushed to issue a joint statement on March 19, stating: "We are prepared to make an appropriate contribution to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz." One official familiar with the talks noted: "Stoltenberg pushed for this joint statement because Trump had threatened to withdraw from the Transatlantic Partnership Alliance and fully pull out of Ukrainian affairs."

April 2 – Per The New York Times, U.S. officials confirmed that multiple U.S. intelligence agencies have recently assessed the Iranian government is currently unwilling to engage in substantive negotiations to end the U.S.-Iran war. The assessment concludes Iran views itself in a strong position in the conflict and has no need to comply with U.S. diplomatic requests, officials said. Iran is willing to keep lines of communication open, they added, but it does not trust the U.S. and believes former President Trump was not sincere in negotiations. Trump twice ordered strikes against Iran during nuclear program talks over the past year. These assessments align with recent statements from Iranian officials. U.S. and Iranian officials have noted the two sides are exchanging messages via intermediaries and possibly direct channels, but have not negotiated ceasefire or war-ending terms. (FXStreet)

April 2 — U.S. President Donald Trump plans to announce in a primetime national address that all objectives of the military action against Iran have been achieved, with the conflict nearing its end, according to multiple sources cited by American outlet Politico. Trump will declare victory in the speech and pave the way for a gradual U.S. withdrawal from the conflict, the report states. He also intends to blame NATO allies for the most pressing current issue — shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz — and demand European and Gulf countries take responsibility for subsequent security in the region. Former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon noted Trump will emphasize “short-term military goals have been met” and may push for a ceasefire in the coming weeks, while making clear the strait issue “will no longer be resolved under U.S. leadership.” Iran continues to restrict shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, pushing global oil prices above $100 per barrel.
