Gold price surges as yellow metal rallies on Trump’s Tehran evacuation call — here’s why global chaos is shaking markets and boosting gold’s safe-haven shine

Gold prices swing as Israel-Iran conflict escalates, keeping investors on edge and markets volatile. Spot gold briefly rose before dipping 0.2% to $3,379.74 an ounce, as reports suggest Israel’s strikes may have delayed Iran’s nuclear program. Tensions in the Middle East, coupled with President Trump’s downplaying of a ceasefire, have left traders uncertain. While gold surged nearly 4% last week, it remains $120 below April's record high. Still, it’s on track for a sixth straight monthly gain—the strongest run in two decades.
