Why isn’t gold acting like a safe haven during geopolitical chaos?

In this conversation with Maggie Lake, Trey Reik breaks down why gold’s recent price action is confusing investors and why geopolitics may actually be one of the least reliable reasons to own gold.

Instead, Reik points to three core drivers that have powered gold’s long-term bull market. While geopolitical events may bring short-term traders into the market, they often create volatility rather than sustained upside. And despite recent volatility and sharp corrections in both gold and silver, Reik argues the fundamental case for precious metals remains intact, but investors may need to look past short-term noise to see it clearly.
