🔥 Key News This Hour

  1. 【Major·Russia-Ukraine】Putin ordered no strikes on Kyiv for the next three days and confirmed he will meet US envoys Witkoff and Kushner on Saturday — a material upgrade from last hour’s “landing in Moscow”: talks move to face-to-face bargaining at the envoy level, with the no-strike pledge as a goodwill signal
  2. 【US-Iran·Tough Talk】Netanyahu: if Iran attacks us, they will suffer severe blows; Gaza will not be rebuilt unless demilitarized first — Israel’s red lines clarified, US-Iran uncertainty rising
  3. 【Red Sea·Military】Yemeni armed forces advancing on Hays area in southern Hudaydah (after fully recapturing Khayes) — sustained pressure on the Red Sea flank

🧭 Situation Assessment

Putin’s “no strikes on Kyiv for three days” plus Saturday talks push the Russia-Ukraine track from “engagement” to “envoys bargaining” — if the plan contains substantive compromise terms, crude’s geopolitical premium faces weekend unwind risk.

But Netanyahu’s tough line on Iran and the Yemeni Red Sea advance show the Middle East track is still heating up, leaving oil’s bull-bear tug unresolved; WTI’s direction around $89 depends on weekend headlines.

With Saturday markets closed, gold at 4431 and WTI at 89.27 are frozen — all pricing pressure defers to Monday’s Asia open.

Trump’s “rate-cut + trade threat” versus market rate-hike expectations remains the macro battleground; no clear direction until CPI and FOMC, with USD and Treasury volatility prone to rise.
