Increased geopolitical tensions and rising global inflation and interest rate risks, particularly due to the ongoing situation in Iran, which has led to a significant rise in oil prices [6] 2. Profit-taking by investors at high levels, as the market had already priced in the potential for conflict, leading to a sell-off after the actual events unfolded [6] 3. The impact of falling equity markets, which has created a liquidity panic and forced leveraged positions to liquidate, resulting in increased selling pressure on gold [7] Oil Prices - US oil prices rose by over 2%, with the main contract closing up by 2.66% at $98.09 per barrel [8][9] - Reports indicate that the US military is deploying additional naval forces to the Middle East, which may further influence oil prices [11]
