Israeli PM Netanyahu stated in private meetings that a possible US-Iran deal won't end fighting with Hezbollah, Israel Hayom reports citing sources

Netanyahu's comments suggest that even if a US-Iran deal is reached, tensions with Hezbollah will likely persist, which could exacerbate geopolitical risks in the region. This might keep safe-haven assets like gold elevated, while also influencing the forex market as the USD could strengthen on heightened risk aversion, impacting currencies linked to the region such as the JPY and GBP. Traders should remain vigilant for any market movements tied to evolving conflict dynamics and consider how this may affect energy prices as well.
