Deduplicated against 15:00 briefing. No market-impact-level new news in 15:00–16:00 CST window.
Situation Assessment
Crude Oil — “Double Blockade” Unchanged, Monday Open Is the Key Node. Red Sea shipping via Bab el-Mandeb dropped to single digits; Strait of Hormuz military controls persist; Saudi East-West Pipeline remains temporarily closed after attack. No supply-side easing signals. Iran’s parliament security chief “no negotiations” hardline stance plus Monday Gulf regional meeting — short-term deal expectations remain low. Call: 95-100 range unchanged. Monday gap above 100 would be emotional; resistance effective without supply restoration. Energy stocks face elevated short-term volatility — avoid chasing longs.
Gold — Range-bound, FOMC Caution. Sampling price identical to previous; no new pricing. Middle East避险 premium offset by post-FOMC-cut reversal expectations. Call: 4,330 support holds for long的底仓; 4,400-4,420 resistance needs more geopolitical catalyst. Range trading优于 directional bets.
US Equities — Holiday, Monday Triple Catalyst. Labor Day closure; Monday brings FOMC rate decision + dot plot + Powell press conference, Gulf meeting outcomes, and new margin rules from previous session. Call: Observe 10Y yield and crude direction in Asian Monday session before setting tech exposure. Execution discipline unchanged: limit orders, phased entries.

| Monday (~21:00 CST) | Iran Gulf Regional Meeting (Oman-mediated) | ⭐⭐⭐ |
Core Focus: 4th consecutive market-holiday static briefing. 8 hours of no trading ahead; Monday open converges FOMC, Gulf meeting, and risk-control rule changes. Strategy: information review and position pre-check only during holiday — no new positions.
