## Prediction

In the next 7 days, continued disruption through Hormuz combined with Iran’s leadership uncertainty is likely to fuel a sustained bid in gold and traditional safe-haven assets such as the US dollar, Swiss franc, and US Treasuries. Investors will hedge against scenarios ranging from regional war to tighter sanctions that could shock global growth. Equity markets in energy-importing emerging economies will underperform as higher input costs and risk aversion bite. Confirmation would be gold breaking and holding above recent resistance and spreads narrowing on US Treasuries; a contrary scenario would see quick de-escalation signals and restoration of shipping volumes, taming risk aversion.

## Drivers

- Ship traffic through Hormuz down ~75%, signaling acute supply risk
- Reports of Khamenei’s killing and direct threats to the US
- Historical pattern of gold and safe-haven rallies during major Middle East crises
