ℹ️ How are these calculated?
🎯 Investment Thesis
Gold holding firm above $5,000 even as yields and dollar rise on strong jobs data — remarkable resilience. 8% below ATH ($510). Central bank buying remains structural. Oman talks passed without clear resolution — geopolitical uncertainty persists. Zacks names gold "Bull of the Day" on surging metal prices.
⚠️ Key Risk
Any diplomatic breakthrough on Iran = gold down 15-20%. Risk-on AI capex environment means opportunity cost vs equities. Already up significantly — not the same entry as pre-rally. Strong jobs data reducing rate cut likelihood removes one gold tailwind.
By The Numbers
Event Impact
Risk-on AI sentiment pulls capital away from gold.
Gold above $5,000 and holding firm. Classic safe haven in geopolitical uncertainty.
No quantum relevance.
Safe haven demand increases in trade war uncertainty.
Gold is THE anti-dollar asset. Weaker DXY (~97) directly boosts gold. Rate cuts reduce opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold. Above $5,000 with central bank buying structural.
No energy grid relevance.
Gold benefits from fiscal deterioration — $38.6T debt, $1T interest costs signal long-term dollar debasement. Debt ceiling fight in Nov 2026 could drive safe-haven demand.
