Iran will hold talks with European parties in Istanbul on Friday, two European diplomatic sources and an Iranian diplomatic source said on Tuesday. Britain, France and Germany initially hesitated about the talks, fearing that such talks could open up a parallel track that would interfere with the negotiations promoted by the Trump administration to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. But European diplomats said they chose to continue the talks because it was in their interest to maintain dialogue with Iran and reaffirm their vision for a new nuclear deal. Iran is also eager to hold the talks in order to keep multiple options open and assess the positions of European powers on the issue of re-imposing UN sanctions on Iran. European powers are not parties to the current Iran-US negotiations, but the three powers have been seeking to coordinate closely with Washington to decide whether and when the "snapback sanctions mechanism" should be used to put pressure on Iran over its nuclear program. According to diplomats and a document seen by Reuters, the three countries may initiate "snapback sanctions" in August if no substantive agreement is reached by then.SpaceX: Starship completed a long six-engine static fire test and is currently making final preparations for its ninth flight test.Sources: Iran and Europe will hold nuclear talks on Friday.On May 14, the Czech Presidents Office announced on the 13th that President Pavel confirmed that the countrys parliamentary House of Representatives election will be held on October 3 and 4 this year.

Gold And Copper Prices Oscillate About $1,750 Despite Fed Hawkishness

As investors anticipated further clarity on the direction of U.S. monetary policy in the coming months, gold prices changed slightly on Monday, but remained near key support levels. In the meanwhile, copper prices remained low because of the likelihood that more COVID issues in China would decrease demand.


The minutes of the most recent Federal Reserve meeting are expected to provide fresh insight into the central bank's intentions for increasing interest rates when they are released on Thursday.


Inflation has fallen more than anticipated in recent months, prompting markets to anticipate a somewhat smaller rate hike in December. However, recent remarks from Fed officials indicate that interest rates may continue to rise for longer than anticipated.


This view is beneficial for the currency and Treasury rates, but it will likely damage metal markets. The greenback appears to have found a bottom following recent losses, and rose 0.1% to 107 on Monday.


As of 19:05 EDT, spot gold rose 0.1% to $1,752.81 per ounce, while gold futures inched up to $1,754.90 per ounce (00:05 GMT). In response to the Federal Reserve's members' warnings of rising interest rates, the value of both assets declined by nearly 2 percent last week.


As a result of the Federal Reserve's streak of quick rate hikes this year, non-yielding assets, such as gold, have become less desirable.


Despite the fact that metal markets climbed earlier this month on signals of a reduction in U.S. inflation, they are expected to remain under pressure in the coming months, as inflation remains well over the Fed's 2% annual target.


Copper prices stayed largely constant on Monday, following a week of significant drops due to concerns over China's import demand.


Copper prices stayed stable at $3.6405 per pound following last week's 7.2% decrease, their worst performance since late August.


China has shut down further sections of the country in response to the greatest COVID outbreak in seven months. This year, the country's strict zero-COVID policy, which led to a multitude of disruptive lockdowns, severely hampered economic growth.


This decreased national demand for commodities.


Despite indications of a limited supply, rising fears of a global recession have also hampered copper's future prospects.
