Kremlin: Thanks Trump for Peace Efforts, Values US Diplomats’ Work
The Kremlin continuously sent signals, thanking President Trump for his commitment to peace and expressing high regard for US diplomats’ efforts, but stated it has not yet received contact from the Kyiv side.
🧭 Situation Analysis
The Kremlin has continuously signaled a window for Russia-US-Ukraine trilateral negotiations — Peskov explicitly did not rule out resuming talks, and a Putin-Trump call became possible following the US envoy’s visit to Moscow. Meanwhile, Iran received a Qatari delegation to discuss de-escalation. Both the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine fronts are showing diplomatic windows simultaneously, though Russia and its counterparts still differ on timing and location, keeping near-term uncertainty alive.
Gold declined 0.88% to 4392, pressured by dollar rebound and profit-taking, but Middle East multi-line tensions and Russia-Norway missile deployment escalation provide floor support. The New York Fed study argued that dollar reserve share decline reflects actions by a few managers, refuting de-dollarization narratives — short-term dollar bullish.
WTI crude rebounded 1.32% to 90.4, hitting 91.1 intraday. Following Ukraine’s first publicly confirmed strike on Russian oil refineries, the energy infrastructure risk premium persists. Record US gas prices at the pump confirm downstream transmission pressure.
