芬蘭外長近日表示，芬蘭對法國提出的將覈保護傘擴展至整個歐洲的提議持開放態度，同時強調此舉不會取代美國的核威懾力量。

Five traders said the Reserve Bank of India may enter the FX market on Monday to alleviate uncertainty from a potential US–Iran conflict and corporate hedging flows pressuring the rupee. Market observers noted state-owned banks selling US dollars, likely acting on behalf of the RBI. Traders added that recent government measures to shore up the external position have driven strong inflows, bolstering the RBI's capacity to support the rupee via intervention.

Gold climbed to its highest in over three months on Monday, supported by a softer dollar as markets await US inflation signals and a Fed policy speech. Traders are focused on the July PCE price index and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's remarks at the Jackson Hole symposium later this week for cues on the interest-rate outlook. KCM Trade chief market analyst Tim Waterer said gold has seen renewed buying driven mainly by dollar weakness, and market participants are watching whether rising yields signal underlying economic strain and policy uncertainty; a balanced or cautious Warsh tone, if it aligns with recent bond-market moves, could open the door to further gold gains.
