Markets are repricing risk... what about gold and cryptocurrencies?

Arabian Sea - Exclusive

With a pivotal moment of escalation followed by de-escalation in the Middle East, global markets began to reprice their risks and gains, responding to US President Donald Trump's announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. This development, linked to the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which temporarily reduced the level of geopolitical tension, is quickly leaving its mark on safe-haven assets and risk markets alike, reshaping the investment interest map in gold and cryptocurrencies. Gold fell significantly, as investors appeared to be abandoning some of their defensive positions, heading towards higher-risk assets amid fragile optimism. This shift in the general mood of the markets reflects the volatility of the current moment, and highlights the complex relationship between international politics, especially in the Middle East, and global liquidity trends.
