I’ve been trying to understand something recently.

    Intuitively, geopolitical tension and rising oil prices should support gold as a safe-haven asset.

    But recently, gold seems to struggle when oil rises.

    From what I understand:
    higher oil → higher inflation → central banks delay rate cuts → higher real rates → gold pressured

    Is this the correct mechanism?

    Or am I missing something in how markets price this?

    Why does high oil price sometimes weaken gold instead of strengthening it?
