Gold $5,247.90 (+0.91%) — risk premium on Iran escalation; DXY flat, so this is fear/hedge demand not FX
Silver $93.29 (+3.50%) — high beta catch-up; when risk hits, silver rides gold but with leverage
Oil +10% headlines add tail risk: if it feeds real-yield upshift later, gold’s bid gets tested

Key driver: Geopolitical risk premium (Iran conflict) overriding the usual USD/rates playbook — for now

This isn’t a dollar story (DXY basically unchanged); it’s the market paying up for “neutral collateral” while the Gulf risk map rewrites in real time. Watch the second-order move: if oil shock forces tighter policy/real yields higher, gold’s safe-haven bid turns into a rates fight.
