The gloves are coming off in the Middle East…
Iran is no longer hiding behind its proxies. It’s launched hundreds of missiles at Israel. America’s response?
Joe Biden says we are “fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel.”
1 So we’re in this… but now what?
War is awful. But out of wartime is there anything war is actually good for?
Actually…
There is one thing.
Precious metals -- and especially gold -- hold value and often rise in times of uncertainty and war.
2 3 You can think of it as a kind of silver lining for savvy investors.
For example:
- During WWII, the US dollar lost some 40% of its value. Gold’s purchasing power, on the other hand, held up.
- In the Vietnam War, demand for gold rose so much, it broke the gold-dollar peg, leading to a 5X surge in the price of gold (from $35 to nearly $190)4
- Operation Desert Storm saw gold spike up over $400,5 while the grinding unrest that followed saw gold rise to nearly $1900 as a part of the “Arab Spring” uprisings6
- And then when Hamas first attacked Israel, setting off the chain of events that led to our current crisis, gold promptly jumped up 9%.7
What will happen this time around?
There are no guarantees.
Yet given what’s happened in the past, it might be a smart move to explore using precious metals as a diversification strategy.
