Gold and Silver Continue to Rise, Stock Market Up, Oil Down, Iran Agrees to Unconditionally Transfer Enriched Uranium to Russia

1 hours ago

### Market & Geopolitical Updates (May 18) Per Bitget market data: - **Precious Metals**: Spot gold extended its rally, currently trading at $4,563.90 per ounce. Spot silver jumped over 2% intraday, now at $77.43 per ounce. - **Equities**: S&P 500 futures turned positive. Nasdaq 100 index futures extended gains to 0.5%. The Euro Stoxx 600 index’s advance widened to 0.6%. The UK’s FTSE 100 and Germany’s DAX30 both rose more than 1%, while the Euro Stoxx 50 and Spain’s IBEX35 each climbed 0.8%. - **Energy**: WTI crude oil fell 2% intraday, now at $103.11 per barrel. Brent crude slipped below $105 per barrel, down 1.07% on the day. On the geopolitical front, Iran’s latest proposal signals it aims to reach a long, multi-stage ceasefire agreement. Tehran seeks the gradual, secure opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and is willing to agree to a long-term freeze of its nuclear program rather than full dismantling. Iran also offers to unconditionally transfer enriched uranium to Russia instead of the U.S., and is pushing for political language in the deal to save face for its side.

Trump's Approval Rating Falls to New Low in Second Term, Economy and Iran Conflict Cited as Major Drag

On May 18, a new poll from The New York Times finds that U.S. President Donald Trump’s approval rating has sunk to a fresh low of 37% for his second term, with 59% of those surveyed voicing disapproval. A majority of voters rated Trump poorly on his handling of the economy, inflation, the cost of living, and the U.S. conflict with Iran. The survey also shows that 49% of respondents view the U.S. economic situation as “poor” — an 11-percentage-point increase from January of this year — and just 28% approve of Trump’s handling of the cost of living issue. Several other polls have similarly indicated that since late February, following the U.S. military strike on Iran, Trump’s approval rating has stayed below 40%. Rising oil prices and the economic pressure driven by the war continue to weaken both market and public confidence, data from the surveys note.

Iran Calls for Permanent End to Hostilities and Removal of All Sanctions, U.S. Shows Flexibility on Nuclear Limits

May 18 – Iran has put forward a revised proposal demanding a permanent end to the war, the full lifting of sanctions on Iran, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to a senior Iranian official speaking to Reuters. Tehran plans to tackle the nuclear issue in later stages of discussions, the source added. The official noted that the U.S. has so far only agreed to unfreeze roughly 25% of Iran’s frozen funds on a staggered, phased basis, while Iran is calling for the complete release of all such funds held by the U.S. Furthermore, the U.S. has shown some flexibility in the ongoing negotiations, including adopting a softer stance on limits for Iran’s nuclear activities.
