Brief summary today (3/6/2026):
The main factor remains the escalating tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran (continuous attacks, Iran's counterattacks, concerns about prolonged conflict). This drives the demand for safe-haven assets.
Gold: Price around $5,080 - $5,130/ounce (currently ~$5,105-5,130, slight pullback but still historically high). Gold benefits significantly from geopolitical fear → strong increase in safe-haven role, less volatility than crypto.
BTC & ETH:
BTC ~$70,000 - $71,000 (down ~3% today, slight rebound from previous low).
ETH ~$2,050 - $2,100 (down ~4%, testing support at $2,000).
Crypto faces stronger risk-off sentiment (sell-off as fear increases, strong USD), but showing signs of rebound if the situation eases or ETF inflows return.
If tensions escalate further → gold will definitely benefit more in the long term, BTC/ETH will have higher volatility (may drop in the short term but rebound when fear subsides). Monitor USD Index (~99.3, stable/slightly strong) and US economic data (like jobs) as they could reverse market trends.
