Gold Strengthens as Volatility Rises and Risks Remain
Gold strengthened as safe-haven demand rebounded as geopolitical uncertainty and the risk of energy disruptions persisted. When volatility increases and the market perceives tail risk as still high, gold tends to be sought after as a hedge, especially if the dollar begins to weaken or risk-off sentiment spreads.
Additional support comes from interest rates and inflation. If the market begins to perceive that energy inflation pressures will not necessarily lead to more hawkish central banks, or if real yields tend to decline/hold, the opportunity cost of holding gold shrinks and prices are more likely to rise. Market focus remains on the combination of dollar movements, yields, and whether the oil surge leads to a repricing of the interest rate path or triggers a slowdown that lowers future interest rate expectations.
