Oil surges 5% as Iran deal collapses; gold falls on ISM shock; copper gains 2.6%

Monday's June 1 session opened with a geopolitical detonation: Iran suspended indirect talks with the US, sending WTI CLN6 up 4.94% to $92.16 and Brent ~+4.2% to ~$94.98 — the sharpest single-day crude surge since the conflict began. COMEX Gold GCM6 fell $85.30 (−1.87%) to $4,475.20 as ISM Manufacturing PMI's four-year high of 54.0 strengthened the dollar and squeezed safe-haven demand. Copper HGN6 gained ~+2.56% to $6.5525 on China's Caixin PMI beat and a Morgan Stanley forecast of a 600,000-tonne 2026 deficit. Grains drifted lower on excellent crop conditions.
