Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesman says over 90% of attacks 'thwarted'; no decision made yet to retaliate, Al Jazeera reports

The statement from Qatar's Foreign Ministry indicating that over 90% of attacks have been thwarted suggests a heightened state of security and readiness in the region. However, the lack of a decision on retaliation implies a cautious approach, which could lower immediate escalation risks but keeps the geopolitical climate tense. Traders should monitor how this impacts regional stability and its implications for safe-haven assets like gold or the Swiss franc.
