As conflict flares in the Middle East—highlighted by recent maritime disruptions and port explosions—investors are rapidly de-risking their portfolios. This flight to safety has pushed precious metals into a dominant rally. Gold and silver prices saw an aggressive jump today, with gold ETFs rising as much as 13% following a brief three-day sell-off. The decoupling of "store-of-value" assets is becoming more evident; while speculative tech and digital assets struggle with volatility, physical commodities are reclaiming their status as the ultimate hedge against war and inflation. Experts suggest that as long as the U.S.-Iran tensions remain unresolved, the "fear trade" will continue to favor bullion over high-growth equities.
