Iraq, Vietnam & Zimbabwe: Why September 30 Could Be So Important | Mark Z

Iraq, Vietnam & Zimbabwe: Why September 30 Could Be So Important | Mark Z

 Jon Dowling & Chris Real World : 7-21-2026

In a recent and deeply insightful conversation between Jon Dowling and seasoned podcaster MarkZ, the focus shifted toward the seismic shifts currently occurring in the world of international finance.

As global markets face unprecedented volatility, many are looking toward a “Global Financial Reset”—a transition that promises to redefine how nations value their currencies and conduct trade. The dialogue explored the intricate web of geopolitical, technological, and spiritual factors that are converging to facilitate what many believe is an imminent economic transformation.

A primary driver of this financial evolution is the extraordinary level of diplomatic activity spanning from Geneva to the Middle East.

MarkZ points out that we are witnessing an unprecedented alignment of international interests focused on settling long-standing military and financial conflicts. This global push for disarmament and stabilization is a necessary precursor to economic reform.

As political and security barriers diminish, the road clears for trade normalization, allowing nations previously hindered by conflict to reintegrate into the global economy through currency revaluations.

One of the most concrete signs of this transition is the modernization of financial “rails” in emerging markets.

 Iraq’s Central Bank is currently leading a significant push toward digital payment transformation.

By engaging electronic payment firms and enforcing modern cross-border standards—including the integration of sophisticated blockchain protocols—Iraq is positioning its financial system to meet international compliance frameworks.

This infrastructure is not just about convenience; it is a vital tool for preventing fraud and ensuring that large-scale currency exchanges can occur within a secure, transparent environment.

The conversation also highlighted the importance of accountability in the reset process.

 Iraqi officials have established firm deadlines—most notably a September 30th “back wall”—to end corruption proxies and finalize fiscal reforms.

Interestingly, this date aligns closely with the start of the new fiscal year in many Western financial systems. This synchronicity suggests a coordinated effort to launch a systemic reset, ensuring that new financial models are built on a foundation of transparency rather than the opaque practices of the past.

While much focus remains on Iraq, Vietnam is emerging as another cornerstone of regional economic revaluation.

With a GDP growth rate nearing 7% and a strategic pivot toward more open trade policies, Vietnam’s economic strategy appears to be moving in tandem with global reset efforts.

The discussion suggests a phased approach where the revaluation of the Vietnamese Dong may follow or coincide with other major currency shifts. This allows for a more stable integration of Southeast Asian markets into the new global financial architecture.

A critical component of this reset is the movement away from debt-based fiat systems toward asset-backed models.

The repositioning of gold assets is a major indicator of this shift. From Venezuela’s efforts to reclaim gold from the Bank of England to the recovery of assets from corrupt officials worldwide, the trend toward legitimizing currency through tangible value is clear.

This transition to a gold-backed or asset-backed system is essential for restoring confidence in global currencies and ensuring the long-term viability of the new economic order.

Beyond the mechanics of finance, both Jon Dowling and MarkZ emphasized the human element of this transformation. They argue that the success of a financial reset depends largely on the “readiness of hearts” and the commitment to responsible stewardship.

By framing these changes within a context of humanitarian purpose and community building, the dialogue encourages individuals to look beyond personal gain. The goal is to foster a sense of responsibility, ensuring that forthcoming economic blessings are used to create a positive, lasting impact on a global scale.

As the world stands on the precipice of these historic changes, the message remains one of patience, faith, and diligent preparation.

For those looking to dive deeper into these developments, the full conversation between Jon Dowling and MarkZ provides a wealth of information on the future of our global economy.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Washington, Frankfurt, and the IMF Signal Cautious Path as Central Banks Balance Inflation and Global Risks

Central banks are increasingly emphasizing financial stability, inflation control, and policy credibility as geopolitical tensions reshape the global economy and influence future monetary decisions.

Overview

• Major central banks continue to prioritize inflation control despite heightened geopolitical uncertainty and energy market volatility.

• The IMF is urging governments to maintain credible fiscal and monetary policies as the global economy navigates repeated external shocks.

• Markets are increasingly focused on interest-rate expectations, recognizing that monetary policy remains a key driver of global financial stability.

Key Developments

1. Central Banks Maintain a Cautious Policy Stance

The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to keep interest rates steady while closely monitoring the effects of higher energy prices stemming from Middle East tensions. Policymakers remain cautious as inflation risks persist despite recent moderation in price pressures.

2. IMF Calls for Credible Monetary Policy

The International Monetary Fund warned that today's economic environment requires governments to maintain price stability, sound fiscal policy, and financial credibility. IMF officials noted that repeated global shocks—including inflation, geopolitical conflict, debt pressures, and technological change—have made economic forecasting increasingly difficult.

3. Energy Risks Continue to Influence Inflation

Although oil prices have eased from recent highs, policymakers remain concerned that prolonged disruptions to global energy supplies could create secondary inflation effects, particularly through transportation, manufacturing, fertilizer production, and food prices.

4. Financial Stability Remains the Primary Objective

Central banks are balancing the need to support economic growth while ensuring inflation expectations remain anchored. Officials continue to stress that maintaining confidence in monetary policy is essential as governments navigate an increasingly uncertain global environment.

Why It Matters

Interest-rate policy influences nearly every sector of the global economy—from government borrowing and banking to mortgages, business investment, and international capital flows. Decisions made by major central banks help determine the direction of global liquidity and financial stability.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, monetary policy remains one of the most important long-term drivers of currency values. Stable inflation, credible central banks, and disciplined fiscal policies contribute to stronger confidence in national currencies and the broader international monetary system.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Debt

Higher interest rates increase borrowing costs for governments, businesses, and consumers while influencing global debt sustainability and fiscal policy.

• Pillar 2: Trade

Inflation, energy prices, and monetary policy directly affect international trade, investment flows, and global economic growth.

Future Outlook

Markets will closely monitor upcoming policy meetings from major central banks, along with new inflation and employment data that could influence future interest-rate decisions. Continued geopolitical uncertainty—particularly surrounding energy supplies—will remain a significant factor shaping monetary policy in the months ahead.

As governments adapt to a world characterized by higher debt levels, technological transformation, and shifting geopolitical alliances, central bank credibility will remain one of the most important anchors supporting the global financial system.

This is not simply about interest rates—it reflects the broader transformation of the global financial system as central banks balance inflation, financial stability, and geopolitical uncertainty in an increasingly interconnected world.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Tuesday Evening 7-21-26

Sudani Referred 38,000 Reports To The Integrity Commission And Five Ministers To The Judiciary. The Ministry Of Reconstruction And Development Stated That Al-Zidi Possesses A Broader Political Mandate For Dismissal And Accountability

latest newsTuesday,July 21, 2026Baghdad - One News - 7/21/2026   The Reconstruction and Development Coalition highlighted what it described as the difference in the political environment in which the previous and current governments operated, considering that the executive authority’s ability to proceed with anti-corruption files is not only related to legal procedures, but also to the extent of the political cover available for making decisions on dismissal and accountability.

Coalition spokesman Firas al-Muslawi said that former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani referred about 38,000 reports to the Integrity Commission, and also referred five ministers from his government to the judiciary, as part of measures aimed at pursuing corruption cases and subjecting them to the judicial process.

 Al-Muslawi believed that these measures were implemented under a complex political equation that, as he described it, prevented the Sudanese government from having sufficient political cover to make decisions to dismiss ministers or expand the scope of accountability within the ministerial formation, despite proceeding to refer a number of files to regulatory and judicial authorities.

  In contrast, he argued that Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s government operates in different political circumstances, explaining that it enjoys a mandate and political support that give it more room to make direct executive decisions, including dismissing ministers or referring them to the judiciary whenever legal justifications are available.

 He pointed out that this political cover gives the current government greater ability to turn the anti-corruption slogan into executive measures, away from the constraints that political balances imposed on previous governments, thus allowing it to proceed with holding officials accountable, regardless of their positions, in accordance with legal and constitutional frameworks.

  Al-Muslawi's statements come at a time when the current government is continuing its anti-corruption campaign, which has included opening investigation files, referring officials to the judiciary, and taking measures that the government says aim to establish the principle of no impunity and enhance public confidence in state institutions.

Central Bank Of Iraq Outlines Roadmap To Reduce Cash Reliance And Expand Digital Services

Mohammed Jangadost   The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) held an expanded meeting on Tuesday with licensed electronic payment providers to accelerate the nation’s digital financial transformation, strengthen financial inclusion, and curb card misuse.

Chaired by CBI Governor Nizar Nasser Hussein, the meeting centered on executing the regulator’s strategic roadmap to modernize Iraq’s payment ecosystem and transition away from a cash-heavy economy.

Addressing representatives from the sector, Al-Alaq stated that the upcoming phase demands a noticeable increase in service quality, efficiency, and system reliability to build public trust in digital transactions.

Key Objectives and Strategic Focus

During the session, the central bank outlined several operational and regulatory priorities:

• Compliance with Global Standards: The CBI urged payment firms to adhere strictly to international frameworks, particularly regarding cross-border financial transactions. Compliance is expected to enable higher card transaction limits and facilitate the rollout of new financial products.

• Countering Card Misuse: Regulators and payment companies discussed joint enforcement procedures to prevent card misuse and enhance payment network security.

• Expanding Acceptance Networks: Al-Alaq called on providers to expand POS (Point-of-Sale) acceptance networks, streamline digital collection processes, and deepen integration with licensed commercial banks.

The initiative comes as part of broader government efforts to modernize the national economy, reduce cash dependency, and implement modern financial infrastructure across both the public and private sectors.   https://channel8.com/english/news/61771

Every Asset In Argentina Is Surging Higher... Except The Apartments

Every Asset In Argentina Is Surging Higher... Except The Apartments

Notes From the field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) July 20, 2026

If you have a budget of $179,000 to spend on real estate in the United States, I hope you like renovated sheds. Or a six-hour drive to the nearest airport.

But right now, $179,000 buys a typical three-room apartment in Buenos Aires, the "Paris of South America" (minus the Islamic terrorists).

Studio apartments in Argentina's capital are going for $108,000. All of it is quoted and paid in US dollars, because Argentina's property market gave up on their local currency for real estate transactions a long time ago.

But this is arguably the last cheap sector of Argentina. Prices of every other asset have gone up dramatically thanks to country’s general economic recovery; ever since President Milei was elected, he has slashed government spending and delivered the country's first budget surplus in over a decade. The stock market has surged. Every asset is up. Except for apartments.

Remember, a century ago, Argentina was one of the ten richest countries in the world; its people were better off per capita than the French or Germans.

Then came Juan Perón. Elected in 1946, he nationalized everything— railways, utilities, etc. He regulated wages and prices. It was full-blown command socialism.

Perón was thrown out in 1955, but the machine he built outlived him by seventy years. He had created a permanent bloc of voters— paid by the state— and every government that tried to cut spending found out it could not survive doing so. So they printed money instead.

That is where the price controls, the capital controls, the repeated defaults, and the chronic inflation all came from.

Milei took office at the end of 2023 and started taking the machine apart. He cut the number of federal ministries in half and fired tens of thousands of government employees. He scrapped the price controls and stopped the central bank from printing money to cover the government's bills.

It hurt. Poverty jumped before it came down, and real wages fell before they recovered.

The month Milei took office, prices rose 25.5%. That was the MONTHLY inflation figure, not the annual one. By June 2026, monthly inflation was down to 1.9%.

To be clear, that is still astronomical by North American or European standards. Argentina is still a high-inflation country. But they’ve come a long way in bringing inflation down, and the country is no longer collapsing. There’s clearly a light at the end of the tunnel.

And it got there using the same playbook every country that climbed out of a hole this deep has run.

For example, in 1965 Singapore was an impoverished backwater with no resources and a third of its population squatting in slums. Lee Kuan Yew cut the tariffs, kept taxes low, and threw the doors open to foreign companies. Today Singapore produces more than $90,000 per person— more than the United States.

No country is permanently rich, and no country is permanently poor. For the first time in a very long time, Argentina is heading the right direction.

Foreign capital has noticed. Under a new incentive regime, companies have launched roughly $95 billion of projects. The state oil company YPF filed a $25 billion shale development in Vaca Muerta in May, and Chevron committed more than $10 billion to the same basin.

Companies do not pour concrete and steel into countries they expect to collapse.

The financial markets repriced accordingly. Argentine stocks have run hard, and the main US-listed Argentina fund is up more than 230% over five years.

After a run like that, you could argue the stocks are no longer even cheap. Even the bonds have moved: the extra interest Argentina must pay to borrow compared to US government bonds fell in July to its lowest level in eight years.

Which brings us back to that $179,000. The citywide Buenos Aires apartment index rose just 1.6% over the past twelve months. And that’s in US dollars.

In other words, every asset in Argentina has repriced, but the apartments aren’t even keeping pace with inflation.

The reason is credit, or rather the total absence of it; nine out of ten home purchases in Buenos Aires are paid in cash, without a mortgage.

And prices settle at whatever buyers can pay in cash.

The same condition holds across much of Latin America, and Colombia shows where it leads. Only around 3% of Colombian adults carry a mortgage, so prices sat at cash levels there too.

Then foreigners discovered Medellín. Buyers from North America and Europe arrived with money and bought apartments that looked absurdly cheap to them. In El Poblado, the neighborhood the expats favor, prices have jumped 66% in three years.

We think the same thing is going to happen in Argentina, with a bigger catalyst behind it, because the country is becoming an investment destination and an expat destination at once. It happened in Medellín, Mexico City, and other places in Latin America. It’s basic supply and demand.

There is still risk— Argentines vote again on October 24, 2027... so if Milei’s political movement  collapses, the country could return to its old ways. But that’s pretty much the same anywhere. Every country carries risk.

For example, I doubt anyone is rushing to buy British assets right now. Britain's finances and politics have genuinely deteriorated, and its government now pays close to 6% to borrow money, the most since 1998.

Now that Marxist Andy Burnham has taken over as Prime Minister as of this morning, the situation will likely get worse before it gets better. At some point Britain will get cheap enough that its stocks and bonds become attractive again. But today is not that day.

And American assets are no automatic refuge either. Just wait and see what happens if Gavin Newsom gets the chance to do to the whole country what he did to California.

Argentina, at least, pays you to take its risk. The apartments are cheap, and the catalyst pushing them up is already arriving.

It is also a serious Plan B destination. Living there costs roughly half of what it does in the United States, and it draws far fewer foreigners than the places everyone has already found.

Our flagship service, Plan B Confidential, just published a full report on Argentine real estate, covering which neighborhoods hold their value, how to move money in and out, and where residency and citizenship stand.

Dr. Scott Young: The Dollar is Collapsing, here’s the Proof. Why is the Treasury bringing out a new $100 Bill right now?

Dr. Scott Young: The Dollar is Collapsing, here’s the Proof. Why is the Treasury bringing out a new $100 Bill right now?

7-21-2026

The global financial system is standing on a precipice. For decades, the world has operated on a system of “fiat” money—currency backed by nothing more than government promises and public trust. But as inflation climbs, national debt skyrockets, and geopolitical alliances shift, that trust is rapidly eroding.

In a recent eye-opening video, financial analyst and commentator Dr. Scott Young took a deep dive into the current turmoil brewing within the U.S. Treasury. From the mystery surrounding Fort Knox to the whispers of a new gold-backed currency initiative, Dr. Young paints a compelling picture of a monetary system in transition.

Are we witnessing the death throes of the U.S. Dollar as we know it? And more importantly, how can everyday people survive—and thrive—during the transition? Let’s explore the critical insights from Dr. Scott Young’s analysis.

To understand where the global economy is going, we must first understand how we got here. Money was not always an abstract concept printed out of thin air.

The Gold and Silver Standards: For the majority of American history, the U.S. Dollar was directly tied to tangible wealth. Under the gold and silver standards, paper bills were simply “certificates of deposit” representing physical metal held in safekeeping. You could walk into a bank, hand over a paper bill, and walk out with physical gold or silver coin.

The 1971 Nixon Shock: This all changed on August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon unilaterally ended the convertibility of the U.S. Dollar into gold. This temporarily suspended the Bretton Woods system, ushering in the era of pure fiat currency.

Historically, every fiat currency in human history has eventually failed, usually due to hyperinflation caused by governments printing too much money. Dr. Scott Young argues that the U.S. Dollar is rapidly approaching this inevitable historical d**d-end.

If the world is to transition back to a gold-backed economic system, a critical question must be answered: Where is the gold?

Without absolute transparency, the integrity of the U.S. Treasury’s reserves remains a massive question mark. If a new gold-backed system is on the horizon, proving the existence of these physical reserves will be the first step in restoring global trust.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Dr. Young’s analysis is the changing dynamic between the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve.

While many believe they are the same entity, they are vastly different. The Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel, while the Treasury is a department of the federal government. For decades, the Fed has held the reins of monetary policy. However, Dr. Young highlights several unusual anomalies pointing to a potential power shift:

Dr. Young critiques highly confusing and contradictory statements from Treasury officials regarding upcoming currency designs. Most notably, rumors and official hints have circulated regarding new currency prints featuring President Donald Trump’s signature—a highly irregular occurrence that defies traditional bipartisan presidential decorum.

Historically, the Fed dictates monetary policy, and the Treasury simply prints the bills. However, recent administrative moves suggest the Treasury may be asserting authority over the Federal Reserve. Could this be a controlled demolition of the Fed’s private banking system to make way for a state-controlled, asset-backed alternative?

As the fiat system crumbles, what will replace it? Dr. Young points to two major pillars of the future economy: Asset-backing and Blockchain technology.

There are growing murmurs of a new currency initiative designed to bypass the debt-laden Federal Reserve Note. This new system would be anchored to commodities—specifically gold and silver—to immediately establish trust and halt the devastating effects of inflation.

One of the greatest drivers of the current economic crisis is unchecked, untraceable government spending. Dr. Young touches on a revolutionary solution: migrating federal spending to a public blockchain ledger.

If a systemic reset is imminent, holding your wealth entirely in fiat currency (cash in the bank, traditional savings accounts, or digital dollar investments) presents a massive risk. When fiat money collapses, its purchasing power vanishes.

Dr. Scott Young strongly urges viewers to take matters into their own hands by diversifying into precious metals.

By acquiring physical gold and silver, you are not just buying “commodities”—you are purchasing financial insurance against the collapse of a volatile monetary system.

We are living through a historic economic transition. The decisions made by the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve over the coming months will shape the financial reality for generations to come.

Are you prepared for the end of the fiat era?

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Washington Advances CLARITY Act as U.S. Moves Toward a Clear Digital Asset Framework

Bipartisan Senate action marks a significant step toward establishing long-awaited rules for digital assets, strengthening the foundation for institutional adoption and future financial innovation.

Overview

• The U.S. Senate Banking Committee approved the CLARITY Act with bipartisan support, advancing one of the most significant digital asset regulatory bills in years.

• The legislation would divide oversight between the SEC and CFTC, providing clearer regulatory authority over cryptocurrencies and digital assets.

• Greater regulatory certainty could encourage broader institutional participation while supporting the continued modernization of the U.S. financial system.

Key Developments

1. Senate Banking Committee Advances the CLARITY Act

The Senate Banking Committee approved the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act by a bipartisan 15–9 vote, representing one of the strongest congressional efforts yet to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets.

If enacted, the legislation would provide long-awaited legal certainty for cryptocurrency markets that have operated under overlapping regulatory interpretations for years.

2. SEC and CFTC Responsibilities Become More Clearly Defined

A central feature of the legislation is the creation of a clear division of regulatory authority between the nation's two primary financial regulators.

Under the proposal:

• The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would oversee digital assets classified as commodities.

• The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would retain jurisdiction over digital assets determined to be securities.

Supporters argue that clearly defining these responsibilities would reduce regulatory uncertainty while encouraging innovation and investment.

3. Digital Asset Industry Continues to Mature

The legislation also includes provisions addressing market oversight, decentralized finance (DeFi), investor protections, sanctions compliance, and public official disclosure requirements.

Separate legislation covering stablecoins continues to move through Congress, while lawmakers are also considering tax reforms affecting cryptocurrency mining and staking.

Together, these efforts represent one of the most comprehensive attempts yet to modernize U.S. digital asset regulation.

4. Institutional Adoption Could Accelerate

Markets responded positively following committee approval, with Bitcoin rising above $82,000 before settling lower.

Many institutional investors have cited regulatory uncertainty as one of the primary barriers to expanding digital asset exposure. A clearer legal framework could encourage additional participation from banks, investment firms, payment companies, and financial institutions.

Why It Matters

The CLARITY Act represents an important milestone in the ongoing evolution of the U.S. financial system. Rather than determining whether digital assets should exist, policymakers are increasingly focused on how they will operate within the existing regulatory framework.

Clear rules may help reduce uncertainty while supporting innovation, investment, and broader integration between traditional finance and blockchain-based financial infrastructure.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, the legislation reflects continued modernization of the global financial system rather than an immediate change in currency values. As digital asset regulations become more standardized, blockchain-based payment systems, tokenized assets, and regulated stablecoins could play a larger role in international finance and cross-border transactions.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 2: Trade

Clear digital asset regulations could improve the efficiency of cross-border payments and international financial transactions, supporting the continued evolution of global commerce.

• Pillar 4: Technology

The CLARITY Act strengthens the regulatory foundation for digital assets, blockchain infrastructure, tokenization, and future financial innovation, helping integrate emerging technologies into the broader financial system.

Future Outlook

The CLARITY Act now advances toward additional consideration in the Senate, where lawmakers will continue debating issues surrounding decentralized finance, stablecoins, taxation, and market oversight.

If ultimately enacted, the legislation would establish one of the most comprehensive regulatory frameworks for digital assets in the United States, potentially encouraging greater institutional investment while providing clearer rules for market participants. Combined with recent stablecoin legislation and ongoing tokenization initiatives, the bill signals continued movement toward a more digitally integrated financial system.

This is not simply about cryptocurrency regulation—it reflects the broader transformation of the global financial system as governments establish the legal framework for digital assets, tokenized finance, and the next generation of international markets.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Tuesday Afternoon 7-21-26

Hormuz Tensions Push India To Cancel Iraqi Oil Cargoes

2026-07-21 08:38   Shafaq News- Baghdad   State-owned Indian Oil Corp. on Tuesday canceled plans to load two million barrels of Iraqi crude from the Basra terminal onto the crude carrier (VLCC) Lila Jamnagar around July 23 because of security concerns in the Strait of Hormuz.

Quoting three sources, Reuters said another state-run refiner, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd. (MRPL), also deferred loading an Iraqi oil cargo aboard the Indian-flagged tanker Desh Gaurav.

New Delhi has advised shipowners, vessel operators, and crewing companies not to deploy Indian seafarers aboard ships transiting Hormuz following the resumption of hostilities in the region.

During the first round of fighting between the US and Iran, from Feb. 28 to April 8, India slashed crude oil imports from Iraq by about 84% after disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz hit shipping.

https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Hormuz-tensions-push-India-to-cancel-Iraqi-oil-cargoes

Chinese Exports To Iraq Fall 42% In H1 2026

2026-07-21 05:05   Shafaq News- Baghdad   Chinese exports to Iraq totaled $5.18 billion in the first half of 2026, down 41.7% from $8.89 billion in the same period last year, according to a report released on Tuesday by the Iraq Future Foundation for Economic Studies and Consultancy.

The report showed lower imports of air conditioners, consumer electronics and mobile phones, which had previously ranked among Iraq's leading imports from China.

Manar Al-Obaidi, head of the foundation, attributed the decline to higher customs tariffs on those products, which he said had risen to 33%, as well as supply-chain disruptions and shipping delays linked to instability in the Strait of Hormuz.

In contrast, imports of Chinese vehicles increased to $275 million in the first half of 2026 from $243 million a year earlier.

Gold Edges Higher On Iran Ceasefire Proposal

2026-07-21 02:23   Shafaq News   Gold prices rose more than 1% on Tuesday as investors weighed ‌diplomatic efforts to ease the U.S.-Iran conflict, which could temper oil-driven inflation risks and influence the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest rate path.

Spot gold rose 1.2% to $4,054.24 per ounce as of ​0529 GMT. U.S. gold futures for August delivery were up 1.1% at $4,059.10.

"It ​looks like gold is trying to find a base somewhere around ⁠this ($4,000) level and is going to try to re-engage the upside from there," ​said Ilya Spivak, head of global macro at Tastylive.

"These headlines from the Middle ​East seem to have some degree of knock-on, though it is increasingly only being paid attention to in a passing kind of way."

Oil prices softened on Tuesday, with markets weighing reports ​of mediation efforts between the U.S. and Iran against an exchange of fresh ​attacks between the two and threats of a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia by Yemen's Houthis.

A senior ‌Iranian ⁠official told Reuters on Monday that Tehran had received a proposal from mediators for a 10-day ceasefire in efforts to salvage the interim deal, intended to pave the way to a lasting agreement to end the war.

The recent escalation in the ​conflict drove oil prices ​to more than ⁠a one-month high on Monday, with a growing chorus of U.S. policymakers arguing interest rates may need to rise to beat back ​persistent inflation.

High interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding ​non-yielding bullion.

While ⁠the Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged at next week's meeting, traders are currently pricing a 64% chance of a rate hike in September, ⁠according ​to the CME FedWatch Tool. FEDWATCH
