| WTI Crude | 90.80 | -1.58 | -1.71% |
Gold traded in a tight range today (4313-4351), closing nearly flat. Wednesday’s CPI print is the key variable β an upside surprise could put serious pressure on the $4,000 psychological level.
Crude oil continued its slide, dropping over 1.7% below $91. Despite easing Middle East tensions, expectations of Iran supply returning weigh on prices. US airline fuel costs surged 78% YoY in April, reaching nearly $6.5 billion.

π§ Situation Assessment
The US-Iran ceasefire deal is in its final stage, and market risk appetite has clearly improved β South Korea’s violent stock rebound validates bargain-hunting capital pricing in geopolitical easing.
However, Israel’s evacuation order for Lebanon shows that ceasefire execution still carries risks β the Lebanon front may continue to flare independently of the Iran-Israel truce.
Gold remains range-bound ahead of the CPI print, having already broken below its 200-day moving average. If Wednesday’s inflation data comes in hot, the $4,000 level faces a serious test.
