卡塔爾外交部表示，其代表團在訪問伊朗期間着重強調了對話的關鍵作用。外交部發言人指出，霍爾木茲海峽危機若得不到解決，必將導致局勢升級，損及各方利益。卡塔爾方面重申，將繼續與伊朗和美國保持接觸，以推動談判進程的恢復。

伊朗外交部發言人巴加埃表示，伊朗將動員一切戰場與外交資源，以捍衛國家民族的權利。他在迴應關於對美談判現狀的提問時指出，伊朗外交部將依據國家利益評估局勢並闡明立場，最終將遵循主管部門的決策。他強調，儘管美國執政當局在立場聲明中明顯存在反覆無常、搖擺不定和思路混亂，但這不會使伊朗忽視其全面運用自身能力（包括戰場和外交層面）的必要性。伊朗將在全面考量所有因素的前提下，在必要時充分動用外交手段，既用於闡明立場，也用於維護和實現伊朗民族的合法權益。

Gold miners surged over the past month, drawing back investors hit by earlier policy-driven volatility. Geopolitical tensions and fiscal uncertainty helped the sector record its strongest August since at least 1994: the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index rose 33% in August, more than three times the roughly 10% gain in spot gold, rebounding after a 39% drop from March highs. Markets swung late August after Fed chair KEVIN WARSH pledged to curb inf, but VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) posted its largest monthly inflows since February. U.S. Treasury moves to lower long-term borrowing costs pushed flows into gold and related assets; with largely fixed operating costs, miners provide leveraged exposure to higher gold prices.
