Gold price flatlines around $4,190 in Tuesday's early Asian session.
Progress in US–Iran peace talks could weigh on the Gold price.Market is penciling in a rate hike this year after the new Fed Chair adopted a hawkish tone.
Gold price (XAU/USD) trades on a flat note near $4,190 during the early Asian session on Tuesday. The precious metal steadies as traders continue to assess the developments surrounding the US-Iran peace deal.
US Vice President JD Vance said on Monday that negotiations between the US and Iran have made “great progress” despite “threatening” and “whining,” per CNBC. Vance added that the talks in Bürgenstock, Switzerland, were continuing and Tehran had agreed to permit International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors back into Iran.
The talks were strained over the weekend when Iran announced it had closed the Strait of Hormuz over Israeli strikes on Lebanon, saying these violated the ceasefire.
“Energy prices will remain a key short-term driver for the precious metal space,” said Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen, citing the “ongoing bumpy talks” between the US and Iran that could put pressure on oil prices and elevate gold.
Markets expect the US rate hike this year after new US Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Kevin Warsh adopted a hawkish tone on inflation during his first policy meeting. This, in turn, might undermine the yellow metal. It’s worth noting that Gold is often used as a hedge against inflation but does not yield interest, making it less attractive when interest rates are high.
Traders are now pricing in nearly an 89% chance of a Fed hike in December, up from 61% before last week’s FOMC meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool.#IranCutsCrudePrices #iran #GOLD

Aave founder Stani Kulechov proposed bringing securities finance onchain through Aave V4, targeting repo, lending and tokenized collateral markets.The design leverages a hub-and-spoke liquidity model to improve capital efficiency while enabling risk-segmented financial markets.Kulechov argued that blockchain settlement could replace T+1 and T+2 settlement times with near-instant, atomic clearing and transparency.
Aave to bring securities finance onto blockchain infrastructure
He noted that the US repo market averages $12.6 trillion in daily exposures, while margin lending stands at roughly $1.3 trillion. Kulechov further stated that securities lending currently accounts for approximately $4.6 trillion of assets, while wealth-management securities-backed loans exceed $400 billion.
Much of today's securities finance infrastructure relies on multiple intermediaries, including custodians, lending agents, prime brokers and clearing houses, creating higher costs, settlement delays and limited transparency. Kulechov argued that blockchain-based infrastructure could simplify those processes by making collateral management and settlement more efficient.
"The best way to move it onchain is to get the market structure right," Kulechov noted.
The proposal centers on Aave V4's hub-and-spoke architecture, where a central liquidity hub supplies capital to multiple specialized markets with independent risk parameters.
Kulechov noted that the design could accommodate several securities finance activities, including borrowing stablecoins against tokenized securities, conducting onchain repo transactions and lending tokenized securities to earn yield.
He suggested two possible market structures. One would rely on a single liquidity hub serving all markets, maximizing capital efficiency but concentrating risk.#AAVE $AAVE
