Gold prices (XAU/USD) continue to climb for a fourth straight session on Friday, marking an impressive 2024 performance with over 27% annual gains—the strongest since 2010. The rally is fueled by robust safe-haven demand driven by ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war.
Reports from Axios indicate that President Joe Biden discussed potential contingency plans to target Iran’s nuclear sites if Tehran advanced significantly toward building a nuclear weapon before Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. These deliberations underscore escalating worries about Iran’s nuclear activities during the transitional phase between administrations.
