A night that will soon be written into the history of gold trading.

On this day, three globally renowned financial institutions—KCM Trade, ANZ Bank, and Saxo Bank—simultaneously sent the same signal to the market.

KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer was the first to speak: “When the market opens on Monday, demand for gold may be higher than usual. Considering how long the conflict might last, which other countries could be involved, and inflation concerns, it’s expected that gold will once again serve as the preferred safe-haven asset.”

ANZ Bank analyst Soni Kumari followed closely: “Our overall outlook remains unchanged; we are still bullish on gold. This year’s geopolitical landscape is very different, with heightened tensions. There may also be macroeconomic impacts following the Iran attack, especially if oil prices surge significantly.”

Saxo Bank’s commodities strategist Ole Hansen’s prediction is the most direct: “Undoubtedly, the US-Israel military action against Iran is a concerning escalation that will drive investors into precious metals and energy sectors. How big the impact will be, no one can say for sure, but given last week’s momentum, I wouldn’t be surprised if gold hits a new all-time high.”

Three institutions, three perspectives, one consensus: gold is returning to its throne.

This is not an isolated view. It’s a collective judgment on the new geopolitical landscape of 2026, a reaffirmation of gold as the ultimate safe-haven asset, and a silent refutation of the “digital gold” narrative of the past few years.
