Escalating Geopolitical Tensions to Push Price
The gold price has experienced a rebound, briefly surpassing $1,850 on Monday. This surge is attributed to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, prompting investors to seek safety in traditional havens like gold, the US dollar, and Treasuries.
The conflict arose from an unprecedented attack by the Hamas militant group in Gaza, Palestine, which led to Israeli airstrikes and a declaration of war against Gaza. This event has raised concerns about potential disruptions in oil supply, leading to a 4% increase in oil prices and potential threats to global inflation and economic stability.
However, sustained gains in the gold price may be limited due to a concurrent rise in the US dollar, driven by heightened demand for safe-haven assets.
Additionally, the situation is being amplified by a holiday in Japan, potentially intensifying movements in the gold price. Investors are closely monitoring Middle East developments, oil price trends, and upcoming US inflation data for future trading cues.
