Gold Strengthens, US-Iran Risks Remain a Trigger

Gold prices strengthened on Friday (February 20th), regaining ground above the psychological $5,000/oz level as demand for safe-haven assets increased. The main driver came from escalating US-Iran tensions after US President Donald Trump gave Iran a 10-15 day deadline to reach a nuclear deal—causing the market to re-price geopolitical risks as a short-term catalyst for precious metals.

In addition to geopolitical factors, market participants are also holding their breath ahead of the release of US PCE inflation data (the Fed's favorite indicator), which could shift interest rate expectations and the direction of the dollar/yields. If the data strengthens the prospect of policy easing, gold could potentially receive further support. However, if inflation is hotter than expected, a strengthening dollar and yields could restrain gold's rise. (alg)
