This week should have sent gold prices through the roof. The United States launched a full-scale strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. B-2 bombers. Cruise missiles.
Retaliatory strikes from Iran. For nearly two weeks, the world watched the Middle East edge toward wider war. And then, just as suddenly, it stopped. A ceasefire was announced. President Trump called it the end of the “12-day war.”
And gold? It dropped. Sharply.
This is the contradiction we explore in our latest video. If gold is a safe haven, why does it sometimes barely react during major geopolitical events? Why did the price fall this week, even as war loomed?
The answer lies beyond headlines. Gold doesn’t move on emotion. It responds to deeper forces: monetary policy, institutional trust, systemic risk. This week’s price action is not a signal of safety. It is a reminder that real threats to financial stability don’t always make the evening news.
In the video, Jan Skoyles explains why gold’s silence can be a louder warning than a price spike. We explain how rising gold prices often reflect slow-moving crises: eroding confidence in currencies, fragile central banks, and the quiet retreat of capital from a system that no longer inspires trust.
If you’ve ever wondered why gold seems disconnected from the news cycle, this is essential viewing.

This is not about short-term moves. It is about what gold is really telling us, and why we should listen.
