Gold – The war ended, so why is gold going up?

The Iran peace deal should have sent gold lower—fear fading usually does. Instead, gold climbed for a third straight day to $4,319. Three new forces stepped in: a falling dollar, cheaper oil calming inflation worries, and institutional money flowing back. Wednesday's Fed decision under new chair Kevin Warsh will reveal whether this bounce has legs or if gold gives it all back just as fast.

The US and Iran reached a peace deal. Normally, that pushes gold down because the fear that sends people into gold fades. This time, gold did the opposite. It rose for a third day to around $4,319, its highest since 9 June.

So what's lifting it? Three forces replaced the war. First, the US dollar fell to a 10-day low, and a weaker dollar makes gold cheaper for buyers around the world.

Second, cheaper oil eased inflation fears, which removed one reason to sell gold. Third, big money is rotating back into gold now that the war and the giant SpaceX listing no longer pull attention and cash away.

The next test is tomorrow. The Fed announces its decision on Wednesday, the first under new chair Kevin Warsh. If he hints that rate cuts are still possible later this year, gold can extend its run. If he warns that high inflation may force a rate hike, gold could quickly give back these gains.

So the bounce is real, but Wednesday decides if it lasts.

Gold key levels: 

  • Resistance $4,360, then $4,420. 
  • Support $4,250, then $4,180.

Watching: the Fed decision tomorrow, the US dollar, and final details of the Iran deal.
