美國與海灣合作委員會發表聲明，譴責伊朗代理人在伊拉克發動的襲擊。

Gold staged a modest intraday rebound from the $3,983–$3,982 area to the top of the session on Friday morning. The dollar remains below Thursday’s peak — its strongest since May 2025 — after Fed rate‑hike expectations eased, providing support for the metal. Reports that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps struck a Singapore‑flagged freighter in the Strait of Hormuz have renewed doubts over the sustainability of the preliminary US‑Iran peace deal, a development likely to limit further dollar weakness and pressure gold. The backdrop favors sellers, supporting fresh selling on rallies and leaving gold on track for a fourth consecutive weekly decline. Technicals are weak: RSI near 36, below the 50 neutral line, implying persistent downward pressure and that the current uptick is not a decisive recovery.

KCNA reported on June 26 that N. Korea leader Kim Jong Un observed weapons tests on June 25 focused on artillery and missile modernization. Tests included an upgraded 240mm 24-tube rocket launcher with automated fire control and indigenous precision guidance, range extended to 90 km; a tactical ballistic missile fitted with a "special mission" warhead said to be intended for lethal, destructive strikes on enemy airports, ports and power facilities; and a 155mm self-propelled gun trialing an extended-range projectile reaching 65 km. Kim said the tests demonstrate major technical progress in automation, range and ultra-precision.
