$XAU SAFE HAVEN STAMPEDE: Gold & Silver Explode as Stocks Turn Red
The risk-off switch just flipped.
While stock futures opened in the red, precious metals are ripping higher. Gold is up nearly 1% — adding roughly $300 billion to its total market value in a single move. Silver is climbing even faster, up 2.15%, tacking on an estimated $102 billion.
This isn’t random volatility. It’s capital rotation.
With tariff tensions escalating and uncertainty surrounding the U.S.–Iran situation intensifying, investors are moving into traditional safety plays. When geopolitical stress rises, liquidity seeks shelter — and metals are first in line.
The divergence is clear: equities under pressure, hard assets surging.
The question now is whether this is a short-term hedge… or the start of a broader risk-off cycle.
When fear spikes, money doesn’t disappear — it relocates.
Are we entering full defensive mode?
