Iran Conflict Drives Up the Price of Gold

The start of this week saw the price of gold surge sharply, climbing to roughly $5,400 per troy ounce and marking its highest level in weeks. The move reinforced the metal’s role as a preferred safe-haven asset amid intensifying geopolitical strain, with futures prices advancing by over 2% during the session. This highlights strong investor demand for defensive positioning. The rally coincided with the escalation of hostilities involving Israel, the United States, and Iran, which began with airstrikes that were launched on the last day of last month, targeting Iranian-linked sites in and around the Persian Gulf. In just a few days, the precious metal’s price rose above $5,400, which represents an increase of over 6%. Escalating rhetoric from Tehran and…

How Global Oil Trade Could Be Impacted by Attacks on Iran

Following coordinated military strikes by Israel and the United States on Iran, fears of a significant disruption to Middle Eastern oil supplies have heightened, with some arguing that extreme outcomes may push the global economy into recession. Iran, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries since its inception more than six decades ago, ranks as the 4th biggest producer of oil globally. At the start of this year, the Middle-Eastern country was producing slightly above 3 million barrels of oil per day. For years, energy markets have largely discounted the possibility of a serious supply interruption in the region. However, former White House energy adviser and current head of Rapidan Energy Bob McNally, warns that traders may be underestimating the…

Stronger Dollar, Profit-Taking Cause Gold to Retreat

Earlier this week, gold saw its price drop from a three-week peak as investors booked profits and a slightly stronger U.S. dollar weighed on prices.

Geopolitical Risks, Trade Uncertainty Help Gold Rally

The start of this week saw gold surge to its highest level in three weeks, supported by rising geopolitical strain between Iran and the United States and renewed uncertainty surrounding American trade policy, both of which strengthened demand for safe-haven assets. This comes after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to use the IEEPA as a basis for implementing broad reciprocal tariffs late last week. In response, the White House turned to Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, introducing a temporary across-the-board import tariff of 10%. This figure was later increased to 15%. The tariff came into effect on February 24 and may be enforced for up to 150 days, without requiring congressional authorization. As expected, this development has reignited concerns over global trade stability and…
