Yesterday, June 9, the US confirmed attacks against nearly 20 Iranian targets after the downing of an Apache in the Strait of Hormuz. Oil has already risen more than 25% since the escalation began, and gold (XAUUSD), which many expected to see surge as a safe haven, did the opposite: it fell almost 2% on the day and lost the $4,250 region, with spot losing more than 2% in the session.
The reason the market is pricing in is simple, war drives oil up, oil pressures inflation, and high inflation keeps interest rates high for longer, which weighs on assets that don't pay interest like gold
On a day like this, news is not strategy. To protect yourself and seek opportunities do this:
1. Risk management first, always.
Reduce position size, remove leverage and set your stop before clicking. With Hormuz at risk, one candle can take you out of the game. In XAUUSD the drop broke supports that many used as reference, anyone who entered without a loss plan was wiped out. Protect capital, then think about profit.
2. Surf the trend, not opinions.
Many people traded the narrative "it's war, so gold goes up". The market taught the opposite. Surfing the trend is a principle, not a guess: follow what price is already doing, not what you think should happen.
- Wait for confirmation instead of trying to guess the bottom or the top.
- Trade in favor of the dominant flow and reduce when the move loses strength.
- Accept staying out. In geopolitics, not trading is also a position.
