Why Gold Dropped During Iran War & What Happens Next (Most Investors Get This Wrong) | Adrian Day

    Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Adrian Day, Chairman & CEO of Adrian Day Asset Management, to break down why gold dropped during the Iran war and what comes next.

    Gold fell sharply as the Iran conflict escalated, but according to Adrian Day, this isn’t unusual at all.
    In this interview, Day explains the real drivers behind gold’s decline, including “buy the rumor, sell the news,” a surge in the U.S. dollar, and a global rush for liquidity. He also warns that markets may be underpricing major risks – from persistent inflation and energy shocks to a weakening economy and a Federal Reserve stuck in a difficult position.

    Day shares his outlook for gold, the dollar, and global markets, including why he believes gold could reach $6,000 in the next 18 months.

    In this episode of the Real Story with Michelle Makori:
    – Why gold fell during the Iran war (and why it’s normal)
    – The “buy the rumor, sell the news” dynamic
    – The role of the U.S. dollar and rising yields
    – Liquidity shocks and forced selling
    – Why markets may be underpricing inflation risks
    – The Fed’s dilemma: inflation vs recession
    – Gold price outlook: $6,000 target
    – Opportunities in gold stocks and global markets

    1. ¹whether we win this war or not we are going to pay for it thru inflation it's a fact the average American is being taxed to death because our Illustrious politicians see the economy failing huge deficit haunting us.

    2. Who in the heck are you. Ive been trading this stuff for 50 years. The pull back was one reason and one reason only: banks manipulating prices on paper Au and Ag.m

    3. Gold is the #1 enemy to the USD. Of course, the government is going to manipulate it to make it worthless. They want you to believe in their pomzi scams.

    4. W/o question Michelle is the most educated & informed interviewer in this space. Additionally, one of the rare few willing to challenge her guests.

    5. What an moron guest. Saying Iran has a tendency for creating crisis when it was clearly attacked first.
      And the journalist is more well versed in gold than him also speaks for itself.

    6. The drop in the price of Gold was caused by 4 main factors: 1) The sale of 60 TONS of gold by Turkey, 2) the COMEX raising margin requirements 4 times, 3) Liquidity being tightened, 4) the trading circuit breakers on price freefall not being utilized. The big players KNEW Turkey was selling heavy and this allowed the perfect storm to be orchestrated to cause the price dump.

    7. 'Could there be market manipulation?' you will never get anyone who's part of or benefiting from the 'system' to admit this for none of them want to be audited up the wazuu or loose their trading privileges lol.

    8. I don't understand the insanity inherent in hoping that your own currency and/or economy collapses while you are sitting on some pile of Gold/Silver that is only valuable in relative terms … do people not understand the consequence of such a collapse?

    9. The US is exhibiting its immense weakness. As an American, the sh.. stain that is Trump will leave so much damage to America in the world, it infuriates me I will feel bis idiocy for a lifetime. Weak moron. Systematic destruction of our country around the world.

    10. You may know stocks Miles but you have no idea about world history, war, or economics. Your take on the war is amateur hour.

    11. This guy spends half of the interview pumping stocks he likely owns… you know he's full of it if he recommends investments in the UK… when the UK doesn't want to invest in the UK… clownshow!

    12. Nobody knows until everybody knows. The Gold price will spike faster than we can imagine, interest rates and the inflation will go to the roof. As a result the unemployment rate will skyrocket and the crimes won't be under control. The people will suffer to put food on the table and the homeowners will become poorer than the smart part of the renters. Remember, the homeownership is a lifestyle not a wealth. The house is a depreciating asset and any house older than 30 yeas of age is considered an old house….. Inflation can be a concern, but remember, certain assets like stocks and Crypto’s acts as a hedge. Long & short-term trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months… I'm especially grateful to Elric Jorven whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

    13. yes they could get tax money from the billionaires and trillion airs they have been skipping out of paying there fare share since Ronald Regan got in put in a wealth tax on them … watch some of the Roosevelt speeches he was on to it ….

    14. When you compare Adrian Day and Clem Chambers it is like comparing a giant with a mouse and goes to show that having an English accent does not automatically make you intelligent. Mr Day actually puts his case and analysis forward in a coherent manner and educates us in the process. I think it is because Adrian sticks to his area of expertise he is not trying to take bites out of everything and anything in financial markets. A real gentleman. Thank you for your insights as always MR Day! I much prefer listening to you these days than Mr Schiff! 😂 I jest of course, sort of, but Peter is just a very passionate person at times. LOL

    15. “Just take it”? Then do people go to prison in the U.S for robbing a gas station when it’s okay to “just take” stuff that don’t belong to us?

    16. Talking about the USD having been the world'd reserve currency and the world will no longer want it after it loses that status: it will either force the US to get its debt under control or we will go the way of Rome.

    17. good to know that Gold dropping is good news ..after i've had another couple of futures accounts wiped out ??. But yes the fact it was monetized, in a global shock, just shows why we hold it .

    18. So people know the actual international nuclear monitoring organization has stated that they are/were, certain Iran's mad-mullahs ,had around 400 kgs of enriched to 60% uranium . That is basic bomb level stuff, and enriched many times more than needed for power ,ships or subs , the later of which Iran shows no sign of developing ?. it is also worth noting the MM's are of the Shiite sect that thinks actually starting their end time apocalypse, and the messiah popping by , is a great idea . A bad combination, particularly when their no.1 target also has a whole lotta nukes and a mindset of, 'if we go, everyone around us is going too' ??. Another plus for the rest of the world is, China not getting oil at $8 a barrel ,using it to undermine every other manufacturer on the planet .Hopefully soon we can all benefit from 30-40$ oil ,an actual plus for emerging and developed nations.

    19. I’m wondering if the decline of gold is mostly an artifact of market dynamics needing to free cash in responding to prolonging of Iran war to invest in def stocks, oil and war metals. Gold mining companies are not seeing interest rates necessary for growth. All of which are inversely correlated with gold decline … watch for hedging on declining interest rates

    20. Thank you, Michelle, for a great and very informative interview. I always enjoy your thoughtful questions and positive attitude. You and your channel are two of the true winners of YouTube. So refreshing to watch a real professional do their work well. You're helping a lot of people with your videos so keep up the first class work. Cheers from sunny Sydney Australia 😎
