Gold reacts to real yield changes during Iran conflict, Axel Merk notes

Gold reacts to real yield changes during Iran conflict, Axel Merk notes
Gold reacts to real yields shift

Axel Merk explains that gold prices have been influenced by changes in real yields. He notes that the recent conflict in Iran has been reflected as a short-term shock rather than a fundamental shift, so when bond yields increase without higher long-term inflation expectations, real yields rise and this weighs on gold prices.

Earlier this year, Axel Merk noted that the Dubai real estate market was recovering, suggesting investors viewed the Iran war as less significant at the time (full story). Merk has also commented on the Federal Reserve's ongoing credibility test as Chair Powell appeared to step back from the spotlight (full report). These observations show his focus on both geopolitical developments and central bank actions.
