Gold at $15,000-$20,000 According to the expert, insiders have begun to methodically accumulate Call options (call options) with a strike price in the range of $15,000-$20,000. This is despite the fact that no world bank is currently making forecasts above $6,300.
“A bet on $15,000 means expecting either a sharp revaluation of assets or a real economic catastrophe,” Goncharov notes.
He also stated that the purchases began not during a market boom, but after a significant drop in prices, when most analysts began talking about the “end of the gold bubble.” The blockade of Hormuz as a detonator of the crisis The main factor that could provoke such a scenario is the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. The blockade of this strategic route has been going on for over two months, provoking the most severe energy crisis in history.
“However, due to the reviews of analysts who are spreading fear in the market and the very alarming statements of politicians, something truly groundbreaking has not yet happened in the world economy that would cause a real economic shock. But this is for now, and there is still hope that everything will soon be resolved and Middle Eastern oil and fuel will begin to flood world markets, as before,” the expert said.
According to him, there is a growing feeling that the situation will not be resolved in the near future, since among the key participants in the conflict there is actually no interest in its quick completion.
He notes that the US and Israel are almost not feeling the consequences of the fuel crisis. At the same time, Saudi Arabia is receiving even greater profits than before the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran, after the partial easing of sanctions, has also improved its economic indicators and is actually waging a conflict without the possibility of retreat. #GOLD #XAU #PAXG #HormuzStrait #oil $XAU

#IranDealHormuzOpen The US Navy has managed to remove only two ships from the Persian Gulf in two days of Operation Freedom, announced by Trump. Almost 1,600 ships, carrying a total of 20,000 sailors, are still blocked in the Persian Gulf due to the Iranian-blocked Strait of Hormuz. The US military operation, Operation Freedom, to remove commercial ships through the strait, announced by US President Donald Trump, lasted 48 hours. As of Monday, the US Navy has managed to remove only two ships from the Persian Gulf.
Companies are reluctant to take on the risk of transit, as both cargo and personnel will be at risk, the media reports.
Any damage to a ship worth millions of dollars will cause financial and logistical losses for companies, because insurance contracts do not cover situations related to military operations.
Moving ships without such financial support can be extremely expensive.
Exiting the Strait of Hormuz, even with US military escort, "requires shipping companies to have much greater confidence in the safety of passage through the strait before they take this step," said Gene Seroki, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles. #iran #HormuzStrait #US
