Iran Holds Off on Response to US Vice President Vance as Markets Monitor Middle East and Economic Data
Newsquawk ·
According to reports from Al Jazeera, Iran has yet to provide an official response to the message sent by US Vice President Vance. Historical diplomatic patterns suggest that Tehran's current silence points toward internal security deliberations rather than an outright rejection, keeping backchannels viable. In broader markets on October 29, the advance US Q3 GDP growth rate came in at an annualized 3.4%, exceeding the forecasted 3.2%, while headline September PCE rose 0.5% monthly and 3.6% annually. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank maintained its deposit facility rate at 2.50% and interest rate at 2.65% as widely anticipated. Crude oil prices extended losses amid ongoing temporary peace discussions, whereas spot gold managed to stay above USD 4,000 per ounce. Additionally, Caterpillar reported its Q3 retail statistics showing a combined increase of 22% compared to the prior 25%, while corporate brokerage updates noted a downgrade for GOOGL at Citizens and PYPL at Barclays.

While US Q3 GDP growth exceeded expectations at 3.4%, the core PCE price index recorded 3.1% year-on-year, indicating persistent inflationary pressure. Investors should closely monitor Middle Eastern geopolitical risks and potential shifts in the Fed's monetary policy driven by US economic data releases.
