Iran confirmed president Ebrahim Raisi and Minister of Foreign Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian died in helicopter crash
Market opened with headline of Iranian helicopter carrying president and Minister of Foreign Affairs crashed and soon both were confirmed dead. Haven asset like Gold received a bid as it may escalate geopolitical uncertainty. However, so far there has been no sign of finger pointing, which kept oil prices in check.
