US-Iran-Israel war tensions spark bullish outlook for gold and silver

Gold and silver prices are gearing to reach near their January highs, bolstered by geopolitical events, especially the escalation between Iran on one side, and Israel and the US joining forces on the other, to the point of exchanging missile attacks.

Oil Set to Rise Sharply

Oil prices are set to jump sharply when trading resumes Sunday night, as unprecedented U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran have intensified Middle East tensions and heightened concerns over potential disruptions to global energy supplies.

Prices have been supported since the start of the year by persistent geopolitical tensions.

ST Week-end opening Gaps that are related to some political yapping are different from those that are related to War Premium.

War – a business of blood and killing – carries two bad habits: its first victim is truth and its 2nd one is that it is subject to surprizes to warmoger’s hubris.

Earlier before week’s close I susggested NOK. (but did not comment cda$)

With respect to gaming War Gap on FX one probably should concider one’s own lust for and artistic trading of volatility.

Staying aside for a bit and wait for either chasing or fading is probably bit more prudent tactical approach

JP are you saying sell now or buy safe havens and reassess layer?

But chasing is not a stategy when there is no place for a stop.

St London “Brace for gaps when markets open for the week”
not the time to be dizzy

time to be raking in “war premium”

********
now some trade on the principle of being flat over the week-end
– these types will be leaving massive war premiums and be only wishing and be wistfully looking

some other types will only be scratching their heads about how exactly to “brace” for those opening gaps
– little bit like a hungover cowboy(s) looking at the barn door swinging in the air and horses far out on the horizon

good luck the “bracing”
