LONG Raja Krishnamoorthi

"Aggression can spark conflict and lead to war... partial shutdown that we're now four days into." The combination of a dysfunctional government (shutdown) and looming war risk (Iran) creates a classic "fear trade" environment. Uncertainty drives capital toward non-sovereign stores of value. Long Gold (GLD) as a safe-haven asset. Strong US Dollar or rising real yields dampening gold appeal. Bloomberg Markets

LONG Stefan Rust
Guest, CEO of Trueflation
While general CPI is trending down (<1% per Trueflation), specific categories like "rare earths, energy, battery materials, gold, and silver" are moving upwards drastically. The AI and tech build-out requires massive physical resources (energy for compute, metals for hardware). Even in a deflationary consumer environment, the industrial input costs for the next tech cycle are rising. LONG. Hard assets hedge against both monetary debasement and the specific supply chain demands of the AI boom. A global recession suppresses industrial demand. Unchained (Chopping Block)

NEUTRAL George Cheveley
Portfolio Manager, Ninety One
Metals have sold off recently (Silver -12%, Copper -4%). US Copper inventories are at highs. The inventory spike is artificial—it is a result of importers front-running potential tariffs, not a collapse in demand. However, this "inventory overhang" creates a short-term price ceiling until the stockpile is digested. The long-term rotation into "real assets" is valid, but the short-term setup is messy due to the tariff-induced inventory glut. Wait for the overhang to clear. If US manufacturing data weakens, the inventory pile becomes a structural problem rather than a temporary logistics quirk. Bloomberg Markets

"Long gold as a proxy for atoms, as a proxy for physical goods... I still stand by long Bitcoin as a mega trend." As AI models become open-source and cheap ("Bits are free"), the economic moat of pure software erodes. Value transfers to scarce, hard assets (Gold) and digital scarcity (Bitcoin) that cannot be commoditized by AI. Long as the ultimate "Mega Trend" hedge against software commoditization and fiat debasement. Regulatory crackdowns or shifts in macro liquidity. Thread Guy

LONG Ben Gutteridge
Market Insights Strategist, Invesco
Gold has been volatile (down $82 recently) but central bank buying remains a structural constant. Despite short-term fluctuations driven by rate cut repricing, the "debt monetization" and "central bank diversification" themes are unchanged. The dip is viewed as technical noise within a structural bull market targeting $5,000+. LONG Gold on dips. High real rates in the US persist longer than expected, increasing the opportunity cost of holding zero-yield assets. Bloomberg Markets

NEUTRAL Joumanna Bercetche
Anchor, Bloomberg
Gold failed to stay above $5,000, selling off after a soft CPI print. However, it has rallied 50% in recent weeks. The asset is in a hyper-volatile state ($5,000 price tag implies extreme fiat debasement scenario in 2026). The immediate price action is "sell the news" on rate cuts, despite the long-term bullish driver of interest rate cuts. NEUTRAL short-term due to profit-taking volatility. Re-acceleration of inflation. Bloomberg Markets

US and Iran are holding indirect talks while simultaneously conducting military drills/buildups in the Strait of Hormuz. Russia-Ukraine talks are stalling with Russia demanding territory. The "Talk and Fight" dynamic creates asymmetric upside for volatility. While talks are happening (dovish), the military buildup (hawkish) ensures that any diplomatic failure results in an immediate kinetic spike. JPY and Gold are explicitly cited as capturing "haven plays" amidst this uncertainty. LONG defensive assets as a hedge against negotiation failures in Geneva. A surprise diplomatic breakthrough (Peace Deal) would crush the geopolitical premium in Oil and Gold. Bloomberg Markets

"Gold... easily could go to $10,000 in the next few years." Gold is performing its historic role as a store of value. The speaker draws a direct parallel between Bitcoin and Gold, suggesting that while Bitcoin is volatile, Gold has entered a structural uptrend that could see it double from current highs. LONG. A strengthening US Dollar or rising real interest rates dampening demand for non-yielding assets. Bloomberg Markets

SHORT Zach Pandl
Grayscale
"We probably overshoot shot by a significant margin on speculative capital inflows... my own view would be precious metals trade kind of weak for the short term." The recent parabolic move in metals was driven by a temporary "squeeze" (tariff threats moving inventory from London to NY) rather than pure fundamental demand. As this squeeze dissipates, prices will revert. SHORT (or AVOID) Precious Metals in the immediate term. A sudden geopolitical escalation or rapid currency debasement could reignite the squeeze.

Global Head of Market Analytics
Gold has dipped below $5,000 due to profit-taking, but "drivers behind the multiyear rally remain in place including geopolitical tensions" and fears regarding fiscal debt/deficits. The current price drop is technical (profit-taking), not fundamental. The macro environment (debasement of currency, debt spirals) continues to force capital into hard assets. LONG. Treat the dip as a buying opportunity. A recession or a "crack in the debt market" which leads to capital destruction/deflation. Bloomberg Markets

Gold has slipped below $5,000/oz, down about 1% on the day. Traders are using the benign inflation print to "trim some of the profits." The inflation hedge trade is unwinding slightly as inflation cools. NEUTRAL/WATCH. The asset is seeing profit-taking after a massive run-up (to $5k).

Leung states, "Gold is a replacement for the US dollar... we don't need to further beta by adding silver." Gold is being treated as a core sovereign asset and hedge against US fiscal/political instability. Unlike Silver, which is retail-driven and speculative, Gold has institutional and central bank support. LONG. Stick to Gold for the macro hedge; avoid Silver's volatility. A sudden strengthening of the USD or a rise in real rates. Bloomberg Markets

LONG Joe Mathieu
Host, Bloomberg Radio
"Gold is up more than 2% today. Topping the $5,000 level... Silver at about $77 per ounce." Treasury yields (2-year) fell to 3.4% on cool CPI data. The inverse correlation between real rates and precious metals is driving a historic breakout. Lower yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold. The breakout above $5,000 signals strong momentum. LONG. The macro environment (falling yields + geopolitical fear) is the perfect storm for metals. A resurgence in inflation data forcing the Fed to hold rates higher for longer. Bloomberg Markets

Guest / Geopolitical Analyst
The speaker explicitly states, "I think we're going to do it again [strike Iran]... I think he was going to hit like Israel wants to do ballistic missile sites." He adds that Trump wants "something that's going to be measurable." A US-led military strike on Iran, specifically targeting ballistic missile sites and the IRGC, creates two immediate market reactions: * Kinetic Warfare: Increased demand for munitions and missile defense systems benefits US defense primes (ITA, RTX, LMT). * Geopolitical Risk Premium: Conflict in the Persian Gulf threatens the Strait of Hormuz, necessitating a risk premium on Oil (WTI, XLE) and driving capital into safe-haven assets like Gold (GLD). LONG Defense, Energy, and Gold as a hedge against imminent escalation in the Middle East. De-escalation or a diplomatic breakthrough would rapidly unwind the war premium in oil and gold.

Host, All-In Podcast / CEO, Social Capital
"The general trend since 1700 to now [for Debt to GDP] is up and to the right... You got to find ways of hedging and owning real durable assets because the underlying currency... will fluctuate wildly and just fall off of a cliff." Fiscal discipline is politically impossible. Governments will continue to print money to service debt, leading to currency debasement. To protect purchasing power, investors must own assets with finite supply that cannot be inflated away by central banks. Long Hard Assets (Gold and Bitcoin) as a hedge against fiscal dominance and currency erosion. A "black swan" deflationary event or radical government austerity that strengthens the dollar.

SHORT Mike McGlone
Senior Macro Strategist (Implied Role based on context)
"It runs into that number one risk in all commodities up too much... Stock market volatile is going to go up and that might be another one pressure factor on gold as we have potentially hit margin call." While Gold is often a safe haven, the speaker argues it is currently driven by speculation ("China and speculation"). The specific risk mechanism identified is a "margin call" event: if the stock market volatility spikes (normalizes from 8-year lows), investors will be forced to sell liquid winners (Gold) to cover losses elsewhere. Short or Sell Gold as it is technically overextended and vulnerable to a liquidity crunch/volatility spike. Geopolitical escalation driving safe-haven flows regardless of equity market volatility.

Asia Equity Strategist, J.P. Morgan
J.P. Morgan has a price target of 6,300 on Gold (likely non-USD denomination or index value given context, but direction is explicit). Supply is constrained while demand from central bankers and individuals is "so strong that physical supply and deliveries is just very, very constrained." LONG. Structural supply/demand imbalance supports higher prices despite short-term volatility from systematic selling. Crowded positioning and volatility selling from systematic investors.

"We started offering precious metals perpetual contracts... in a short span of one month the volume just skyrocketed... because for precious metals the information come in at night during the weekend and you need to be able to hedge." Traditional commodity markets (COMEX/LBMA) are archaic because they close. In a volatile geopolitical environment, risk happens 24/7. There is massive pent-up demand for tokenized or crypto-derivative exposure to hard assets that can be traded instantly when news breaks on a Sunday. This drives volume to crypto-native commodity derivatives. LONG. Decoupling of "paper gold" (derivatives) prices from physical spot prices during extreme volatility. CoinDesk
