$XAU Why haven't war and geopolitical tensions come to gold's rescue?
If the region is experiencing military tensions and geopolitical risks, why isn't gold rising as a safe haven?
The answer is that markets don't move based on a single factor.
There is a conflict between two forces:
A force supporting gold: wars, geopolitical risks, and fears of crises.
A force weighing on gold: rising interest rates, bond yields, persistent inflation, and the liquidation of investment positions.
At the moment, the impact of interest rates and inflation appears stronger than demand for safe havens.
This does not mean that gold's role as a safe haven has disappeared; rather, it means that monetary policy has become more influential in determining its short-term direction.
