Geopolitical uncertainty tends to send investors flocking to gold. But the monthlong exchange of military strikes in the Middle East has had the opposite effect. Gold rallied 25% to start the year. Yet after the start of the war, prices fell as much as 23%. Gold has been recovering since late March. And following news of a two-week ceasefire last week, gold is attempting to extend its rally. But gold’s response to the next turn of events is anyone’s guess. If you follow gold’s price action, though, movement around key levels can help you spot changes in its trend.

The ceasefire announcement this week provided a much-needed circuit breaker for global markets. Ever since hostilities broke out in the Middle East, oil prices have been surging higher while the major indexes tumbled. Yet after news of the ceasefire, the market recouped a big chunk of those losses. The war and potential instability ahead have just about been priced out of markets. But I remain incredibly leery. History tells us there will likely be plenty of bumps ahead… Read More: opportunistictrader.com/trading-with-l… #StockMarket #MarketOutlook #LarryBenedict #TradingWithLarry #SP500 #Investing #GeopoliticalRisk #MiddleEast #Ceasefire #OilPrices #CrudeOil #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #Inflation #FederalReserve #InterestRates #MarketRisk #MacroTrading #WTI #EnergyMarkets #MarketAnalysis #TradingEducation
