Spikes Above $2400 On News Of Israeli Strike On Iran

GOLD

Gold surged above $2400 following reports of Israeli missile strikes on sites in Iran, as reported by ABC.

  • Before the official confirmation, market speculation was already rife due to reports of the closure of Iranian airspace. It was noted that flights had been diverted away from Iranian airspace, particularly over central Iran, where the explosions occurred near the city of Isfahan.
  • However, the initial spike has since been tempered, with the price of bullion now standing 0.5% higher at $2391, following a 0.8% increase in Thursday's closing.
  • According to MNI’s technicals team, the trend condition remains unchanged, and the outlook is still bullish, with the next objective at $2452.5, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support is at $2293.4, the 20-day EMA.
