GOLD surges! Iran, the Fed, and the wavering US policy.

Gold OANDA:XAUUSD

XAUUSD experienced a breakout in the Asian session, not as a momentary market reaction, but as a confluence of three risk factors: escalating geopolitical tensions, dovish monetary policy, and instability in central US institutions.

Gold prices (XAUUSD) surged to nearly $4,600 per ounce, setting a new all-time high of $4,599.80 per ounce in a single session. This $90 daily increase wasn't driven by purely speculative capital flows, but rather reflected a widespread defensive sentiment.

I believe that gold's new high isn't a moment of euphoria, but rather a message. It suggests that investors are reassessing the global risk landscape: from the unstable Middle East and sanctioned Latin America to internal policy and legal dynamics in Washington. Bloomberg has described gold's past year as a series of record-breaking events as interest rates fell, geopolitical tensions escalated, and confidence in the dollar weakened simultaneously. Notably, many fund managers are not rushing to take profits, as they see gold not just as a trade, but as a long-term hedge.

In that picture, the surge to nearly $4,600/ounce wasn't the end point. It signaled that the market was entering a phase where political, legal, and monetary risks were no longer on the periphery, but had become central variables. And as centers of power simultaneously signaled instability, gold was once again chosen not for yield, but for the belief that there are times when preserving value is more important than maximizing profits.
