Gold prices surged as investors rushed to safe-haven assets amid intensifying US-Israel conflict with Iran (ongoing strikes, missile exchanges, oil infrastructure threats).
Spot gold rose ~1.2–1.5% to near $5,350–$5,380/oz (fresh multi-year highs).
Drivers: Fear of prolonged war, potential Strait of Hormuz disruptions, higher oil prices fueling inflation concerns, and risk-off flows away from equities/crypto.
