Geopolitical risk can increase safe-haven demand, but gold's response also depends on the dollar, liquidity and rate expectations. The cross-asset reaction matters as much as the headline. The COMEX settlement that session moved -0.44%, so the headline and the close diverge. The usual reason: an intraday move, a different currency, or a different horizon. Thirty sessions later gold traded at $4,653 an ounce, +14.85% versus the date of the report. That is an observation about the market, not a consequence of one headline.
