Chinese Foreign Minister held a call with Iranian counterpart; says all hot spot issues should be resolved via dialogue not force

The call between the Chinese Foreign Minister and his Iranian counterpart emphasizes China's position on resolving international tensions through dialogue rather than military force. This could indicate a commitment to stabilizing relations in the Middle East, which may have implications for energy markets, particularly oil prices, as stability in that region tends to support higher prices. Watch for how this dialogue may affect broader geopolitical sentiment and asset flows, especially in commodities and risk-sensitive assets.
