Why this matters

Gold is traditionally considered a safe-haven asset, meaning its value tends to rise during times of economic or geopolitical uncertainty as investors seek to protect their wealth. The reported US-Israel strikes on Iran signify a significant escalation of Middle East tensions, which could disrupt global oil supplies, impact international trade, and potentially lead to broader conflict, thus driving investors towards safe assets like gold.
