A fresh geopolitical headline also came from Ireland, where Prime Minister MicheΓ‘l Martin said Iran cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons, reflecting continued hardening of international rhetoric around the conflict. That keeps the war premium alive in commodities and currencies.

Market Commentary

Oil disruption through Hormuz is still one of the biggest background drivers for inflation expectations, but the gold market is not reacting with panic buying. Instead, traders are balancing three forces:

war-related safe-haven demand,

elevated oil prices and inflation risk,

and the effect of yields/dollar strength on bullion.

For now, the structure still favors a sell-on-rise approach in gold, unless price breaks and sustains above the stronger resistance zones. Silver also remains under pressure with a negative zigzag pattern, meaning rallies are still being viewed mainly as selling opportunities.

Tradeline Capital View

The weekend war headlines keep the energy market tight and the geopolitical premium alive, but gold is still trading more like a market caught between safe-haven support and macro pressure. As long as yields, dollar strength, and event-risk positioning dominate, bullion may continue to move in a volatile but technical manner rather than in a straight geopolitical surge.
