As long as he gives the order to strike Iran, even if it's just launching one missile, gold rising to $5800 an ounce is not a dream. Mr. Donald, the rise in gold relies on you.
Right now, chatting about gold basically revolves around Trump and Iran, with no other fresh topics. The price of London gold has long surpassed the moment it just broke through $4900; the latest is already pushing over $5070 an ounce, having risen more than $120 in a day. This surge is already quite vigorous, yet there is still a large group of people who find it unsatisfactory, eagerly hoping for Trump to make a divine move, directly raising the gold price to $5800.
To be honest, whether gold will rise now and by how much seems to really be in Trump’s hands. This person talks about hoping for dialogue with Iran and not wanting to use military force, but at the same time, he’s sending U.S. warships to the Middle East and has listened to several strike plans presented by the Department of Defense, including options for large-scale bombings. It’s clear he is firmly holding the initiative of 'to strike or not to strike.'
Global gold investors are closely monitoring his movements, waiting for his words. Even if he just orders the launch of a single missile, not much, just one, gold prices are likely to shoot up immediately.
After all, gold has always been more valuable in times of chaos. The Middle East is inherently unstable; if the U.S. and Iran really go to war, the situation will definitely become completely chaotic.
At that time, whether it’s large investment institutions or small retail investors, everyone will rush to convert their money into gold for safety. With more buyers, can the price not rise? The current price just above 5000 is seen by many as just a starting point. They hope that Trump will ignite this fire and let gold prices soar to 5800 or even higher.
Trump indeed has this capability; he restarted extreme pressure on Iran as soon as he took office, and last year he even launched strikes against Iran. Now he’s saying, 'Time is running out,' forcing Iran to sit at the negotiating table.
But Iran is also tough and does not believe in his sincerity, feeling that he does not want to negotiate but to impose conditions. They are unwilling to make any concessions on core interests like nuclear projects and ballistic missiles. The two sides are thus stuck, and the more they are at a standstill, the more people feel the possibility of conflict, causing gold prices to rise accordingly.
The U.S. has now deployed at least 10 warships in the Middle East, along with aircraft carriers, and tens of thousands of U.S. troops are stationed at 19 military bases. HC-130J long-range search and rescue planes are also flying over there, clearly preparing for possible airstrikes.
Although his Middle Eastern allies are unwilling to lend territory and airspace to the U.S. to strike Iran and are urging dialogue to cool tensions, this has not affected the expectation of rising gold prices. After all, as long as Trump is determined to strike, no one can stop him. By that time, forget about 5800; it’s not impossible for prices to surge even higher.
Some may think this statement is a bit exaggerated, but just look at the recent trends in gold prices. Just the news circulating in the market about 'the U.S. possibly striking Iran' has already caused London gold to surge from 4900 to 5070, with fluctuations exceeding 2.6%.
If a war really breaks out, the volatility will definitely be much greater than now. At that time, the global financial market will be shaken; stocks and funds are likely to fall, and only gold can rise against the trend. In such times, whoever holds gold will feel secure.
Mr. Donald himself may not even realize how strong his influence is in the gold circle. Now, whether it’s professional analysts or ordinary investors, when discussing the future trends of gold, they must first mention Trump and Iran's relationship.
Everyone is either guessing when he will give the order to take action, or calculating how much gold prices can rise after the fighting starts. $5800 per ounce has become the target line for many.
Some even joke that the rise in gold prices now entirely depends on Trump. If he wants gold prices to rise, he just needs to send a tweet with a harsh statement; if he wants gold prices to stabilize, he just needs to say 'I hope not to use military force.'
In fact, people are not really hoping for war, after all, it’s ordinary civilians who suffer from war. However, in the investment market, the risk-hedging attribute of gold is evident; the more uncertainty there is, the more valuable gold becomes.
And now the biggest uncertainty globally is the relationship between Trump and Iran. He holds the decision-making power of whether to strike, which is equivalent to holding the key to rising gold prices.
As long as he nods, even if just to launch a missile, or even just a limited strike, it can instantly boost market risk aversion, and gold prices will naturally soar. The target of $5800 per ounce is really not a dream.
The emotions in the market are already very clear; everyone is waiting for Trump's actions, betting that he will take action against Iran. Many have already laid out their plans, buying large amounts of gold, just waiting to profit after the fighting starts.
After all, the current gold price has such a solid foundation that as long as there’s a trigger, breaking through 5800 is not a problem at all.
I must say, Trump's influence is truly unique. Gold investors around the world are pinning their hopes on him, just hoping he can perform a miracle and push gold prices to a new level.
Regardless of whether Trump will actually order a strike on Iran, or whether gold prices can really rise to 5800, the consensus has already formed — the only person who can significantly boost gold prices worldwide is Trump.
His every word and action can directly influence the trends in the global gold market. So now many people are calling out to Mr. Donald from afar, hoping he can act quickly, because the rise in gold prices depends entirely on him.
