Global Update After the US–Iran Ceasefire (April 8, 2026)
Summary of Effects on Gold, Stocks, Currencies, and Oil — Article by SO OK TRADING
Key Turning Point
A two-week temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran has begun, paving the way for peace talks in Pakistan this Friday. Main condition: Iran must immediately secure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Big bet: If negotiations succeed, the world may witness lasting peace and the lifting of certain sanctions that have long shaken the global economy.
Global Powers React
China: The biggest winner, as a major importer of Iranian oil → production costs drop instantly.
Russia: Loses out, as plunging oil prices cut into export revenues.
United States: Trump hails the deal as a “major achievement,” but opposition prepares strict scrutiny.
Europe: Relieved over energy concerns → Euro strengthens, investors return to equities.
Global Market Shockwaves
Oil: Down over 15% → easing inflationary pressure, but risks a sharp rebound if talks fail.
Gold: Despite the ceasefire, prices soar above $4,800/oz as investors remain cautious.
Currencies: US dollar weakens → Asian currencies (Baht, Yen, Rupee, Singapore dollar) strengthen.
Stocks: Global equities surge, especially in Asia, entering Risk-on mode.
️ Crude Oil Prices (Brent / WTI)
Fell more than 15% after ceasefire news.
Short-term trend: Sideway Down, awaiting Pakistan talks.
Risk: If talks collapse, prices may rebound sharply due to low global inventories.
