Safe-haven gold soars as investors bolt for safety from Middle East clashes
Yahoo!Finance ^ | 10/08/2023 | Swati Verma

Gold prices climbed more than 1% on Monday as dramatic clashes between Israeli and Hamas forces over the weekend raised the risk of a wider Middle East conflict and spurred a rush to safe haven investments like bullion.

Spot gold jumped 1% to $1,849.51 per ounce by 0317 GMT, having hit its highest level in a week. U.S. gold futures climbed 1.1% to $1,863.70.

That little uptick at the end of the chart is the recent "soaring."

Europe and American markets haven’t opened yet since the attacks.

Do you think metals aren’t going to soar?

I have no idea if they will or not. The article spoke specifically about the uptick of the last week as "soaring prices."

"Spot gold jumped 1% to $1,849.51 per ounce by 0317 GMT, having hit its highest level in a week. U.S. gold futures climbed 1.1% to $1,863.70."

Gold only came down, as the chart illustrates, from the mid $1,900s range about two weeks ago.

Gold soars???

Yahoo Finance is getting as bad as the gold bugs who think gold and silver are the answer to everything.

Should have read: "Gold finally goes up a little after Israel declares war". I stress the term "little".

Monetary deflation causes commodities to go down - including oil, gold, and silver.

Their two-year outlooks do not look bright...

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Hey, in my seventh decade I’ve seen many a bubble boil and burst.

Lots of Sheriff’s sale foreclosures in my neck of the woods in ‘09 and round two is about to begin.

If it “soars” to over $2050 I’ll sell but not holding my breath...

How true. Choosing a verb just to get someone to read (I will not) an otherwise worthless article is childish.

Gold soars?

I disagree.

Gold has been bouncing around the $1,900 level since July 2020.

Yup. You would think that it would have risen by at least 25 percent these past few weeks. Ditto gold.

1% increase is “soaring”?
