FXPARTNER Market Summary | 14.09.2026 Monday Morning Update

On Monday morning, global markets focused on the postponement of the **Gulf countries-Iran Hormuz talks** planned for Oman's **Salalah**, crude oil staying near multi-month highs, and spot gold slipping ahead of the **Fed**'s upcoming rate decision. Oman's Foreign Minister **Badr Albusaidi** announced that the talks planned for Monday were postponed **"in order to reach consensus,"** stating that Oman's commitment to strengthening dialogue that supports stability and lasting cooperation in the region continues. Iranian Foreign Ministry Director General for the Persian Gulf Department **Mohammad Alibek** confirmed that the postponement was a joint decision by Iran and Oman, made at the request of some regional countries; **Bahrain**'s earlier announcement that it would not attend and **Saudi Arabia**'s reservations about the proposal were decisive, and no new date has been announced yet. On the energy side, crude oil, which rose more than **9%** last week, traded near multi-month highs at Friday's close at around **$100** per barrel for **WTI** and around **$104** for **Brent**; prices remain elevated after **Saudi Arabia** shut the **East-West Crude Oil Pipeline** following drone attacks from Iraq, and the diplomatic push for a temporary shipping arrangement in Hormuz has so far produced no result. On precious metals, according to **FXStreet** data, spot gold (**XAU/USD**) slipped below **$4,350** in Asian trading on Monday morning ahead of the **Fed**'s rate decision on **September 16**, to around **$4,340**.
