Last night, the flames on the streets of Iran had not yet died down, when the gold trading screens across Asia quietly turned red.
As the string of geopolitics tightened once again, the market's risk-averse instinct was swiftly awakened. Gold saw a slight jump in the morning electronic session, like a migratory bird sensing a storm, lifting its wings in advance.
Deutsche Bank analyst Carsten Fritsch put it succinctly: "The situation in Iran is providing a tailwind for gold." And the source of this wind stems from a weighty tweet from across the ocean.
Yesterday, former U.S. President Trump addressed the protesting people in Iran: "Aid is on the way." Just six words landed a heavy note on the international political chessboard. The market swiftly interpreted this as an increasing likelihood of U.S. military intervention. Each such statement is like adding another spark to an already scorching geopolitical landscape.
This is not just a gold market move. It is global capital casting its oldest vote: as the shadow of great-power rivalry stretches longer, and as the "possibility of intervention" leaps from analysis reports into the realm of reality, gold—the silent witness through millennia of turmoil—once again becomes the anchor of value in an anxious world.
Markets are reevaluating risks. Every ounce of gold bought carries a price tag on uncertainty. And right now, uncertainty is fermenting, fueled by Tehran's night and Washington's statements.
The geopolitical wind direction is clearly etched on the gold price scale. When unrest in some corner of the world can stir the nerves of global traders, what we face may be more than just a fluctuation in precious metals—it is a pressure test of the new era's international order.
Gold says nothing, but its movement is telling the most truthful story of this turbulent autumn. $BTC $ETH $BNB #币安上线币安人生
