Iran war risks trigger energy crisis and stagflation concerns, with rising inflation expectations pushing bond yields higher and traditional safe-haven functions failing. Institutional investors are redefining safe assets, with gold and the U.S. dollar becoming their primary hedging choices. It is foreseeable that the longer the war persists, the more bullish it is for gold; however, it should be noted that gold is currently at elevated levels, and chasing rallies is unnecessary.
