→ CME FedWatch: 94.9% probability of NO CUT at June meeting
→ Only 5.1% chance of a cut — the Fed is not blinking 😤
→ This is Jerome Powell's likely final meeting before successor Kevin Warsh takes over

🌍 3. GEOPOLITICS — THE WILDCARD 🃏

→ Iranian strikes on UAE Fujairah port via drone — escalating fast 🚨
→ Trump naval blockade on Iran in effect — nuclear deal talks ongoing
→ US military officials briefing President Trump on potential Iran operations
→ US forces escorting vessels through Hormuz — shipowners still cautious
→ Strait of Hormuz effectively closed since war began — global energy supply threatened
→ Gold FELL ~13–15% since the conflict began (energy-driven inflation = rate hike fears)
→ BUT: Any de-escalation or deal = risk-on = gold safe-haven demand could soften

🏦 4. CENTRAL BANK BUYING — THE LONG GAME 🐂
→ World Gold Council: Central banks boosted gold reserves in Q1 2026
→ JP Morgan projects ~755 tonnes of central bank purchases for full year 2026

→ WTI crude surging near $100 — Brent above $108 — supply shock in progress
→ IMF chief warned: If conflict extends into 2027 with $125/bbl oil = "much worse" global outcome
