Following airstrikes carried out by the United States and Israel against Iran, gold prices have extended their rally for a fifth consecutive trading day, while risks around the Strait of Hormuz have begun to influence oil markets. Investors are rapidly shifting toward safe-haven assets. <strong>Gold<\/strong> and <strong>oil<\/strong> charts are moving in the same direction.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"543\" data-end=\"946\">Risk perception across global markets has clearly intensified in recent days. During Asian trading hours, spot gold climbed 0.7 percent to $5,368 per ounce. Prices had already reached their highest level in more than four weeks in the previous session and maintained upward momentum into the new trading day. Meanwhile, U.S. April gold futures rose 1.5 percent to around $5,391.90 per ounce.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_71 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/why-gold-and-oil-are-rising-amid-middle-east-tensions\/#How_Much_Is_Gram_Gold_Today\" title=\"How Much Is Gram Gold Today?\">How Much Is Gram Gold Today?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/why-gold-and-oil-are-rising-amid-middle-east-tensions\/#Why_Are_Gold_Prices_Rising\" title=\"Why Are Gold Prices Rising?\">Why Are Gold Prices Rising?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/why-gold-and-oil-are-rising-amid-middle-east-tensions\/#Why_Are_Oil_Prices_Increasing\" title=\"Why Are Oil Prices Increasing?\">Why Are Oil Prices Increasing?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/why-gold-and-oil-are-rising-amid-middle-east-tensions\/#What_Happens_If_the_Strait_of_Hormuz_Closes\" title=\"What Happens If the Strait of Hormuz Closes?\">What Happens If the Strait of Hormuz Closes?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/why-gold-and-oil-are-rising-amid-middle-east-tensions\/#Why_Isnt_Gold_Falling_While_the_Dollar_Is_Strong\" title=\"Why Isn\u2019t Gold Falling While the Dollar Is Strong?\">Why Isn\u2019t Gold Falling While the Dollar Is Strong?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/why-gold-and-oil-are-rising-amid-middle-east-tensions\/#Trump_Signals_New_Wave_of_Attacks\" title=\"Trump Signals New Wave of Attacks\">Trump Signals New Wave of Attacks<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/why-gold-and-oil-are-rising-amid-middle-east-tensions\/#Other_Precious_Metals_Also_Move_Higher\" title=\"Other Precious Metals Also Move Higher\">Other Precious Metals Also Move Higher<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"979\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Is_Gram_Gold_Today\"><\/span>How Much Is Gram Gold Today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1156\">The rise in international gold prices has also affected domestic markets in T\u00fcrkiye. Combined with exchange-rate effects, gold prices in the local market moved upward as well.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1158\" data-end=\"1390\">As of the morning of March 3, 2026, gram gold is trading around 7,590 Turkish lira, up approximately 0.7 percent. As long as geopolitical risk pricing continues in global markets, volatility in gram gold prices may also persist.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1392\" data-end=\"1578\">Market analysts note that safe-haven demand could strengthen further if the conflict expands. During periods of uncertainty, gold often becomes one of the first assets investors turn to.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1580\" data-end=\"1610\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Are_Gold_Prices_Rising\"><\/span>Why Are Gold Prices Rising?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1612\" data-end=\"1795\">Several key factors are driving the latest surge in gold prices. First, escalating military tensions in the Middle East have significantly increased risk perception in global markets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1797\" data-end=\"1947\">Second, investor demand for safe-haven assets has risen sharply. In times of uncertainty, portfolios often shift part of their allocation toward gold.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1949\" data-end=\"2151\">Another major factor comes from the energy market. Rising oil prices are bringing global inflation concerns back into focus. When inflation expectations increase, gold typically gains demand as a hedge.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2153\" data-end=\"2186\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Are_Oil_Prices_Increasing\"><\/span>Why Are Oil Prices Increasing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2188\" data-end=\"2498\">The main driver behind the rise in oil prices is developments around the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iranian media reports, a senior official from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that the strait had been closed and warned that ships attempting to pass through the area could be targeted.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2500\" data-end=\"2643\">This statement triggered serious concerns in energy markets. Roughly 20 percent of global oil trade passes through this strategic waterway.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2645\" data-end=\"2822\">While a full disruption has not yet occurred, markets often price potential risks rather than confirmed events. The upward pressure on oil prices reflects exactly this scenario.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2824\" data-end=\"2871\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_If_the_Strait_of_Hormuz_Closes\"><\/span>What Happens If the Strait of Hormuz Closes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2873\" data-end=\"3037\">This is currently the most critical scenario discussed in energy markets. A prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz could significantly disrupt global oil supply.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3039\" data-end=\"3218\">According to experts, such a scenario could lead to rapid and sharp increases in oil prices, as this route is one of the most important transit points for global energy shipments.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3220\" data-end=\"3357\">For this reason, energy markets are closely watching not only the military developments but also potential disruptions in maritime trade.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3359\" data-end=\"3412\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Isnt_Gold_Falling_While_the_Dollar_Is_Strong\"><\/span>Why Isn\u2019t Gold Falling While the Dollar Is Strong?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3414\" data-end=\"3603\">Under normal market conditions, a stronger U.S. dollar tends to put pressure on gold prices. When the dollar gains value, gold becomes more expensive for investors holding other currencies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3605\" data-end=\"3672\">However, this relationship often shifts during geopolitical crises.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3674\" data-end=\"3930\">The U.S. dollar index has remained near a five-week high, while gold prices have continued to climb at the same time. This suggests a classic safe-haven reaction in financial markets. Investors are moving toward both the dollar and gold simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3932\" data-end=\"4265\">Tim Waterer, Chief Market Analyst at KCM Trade, notes that gold\u2019s rise despite the strong dollar highlights the level of geopolitical risk currently priced into markets. According to him, higher oil prices and potential disruptions in shipments through the Strait of Hormuz could push global inflation concerns back to the forefront.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"4267\" data-end=\"4303\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trump_Signals_New_Wave_of_Attacks\"><\/span>Trump Signals New Wave of Attacks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4305\" data-end=\"4540\">U.S. President Donald Trump stated that operations against Iran would continue \u201cfor as long as necessary.\u201d He also warned that a new and larger wave of attacks could occur soon, although he did not provide specific operational details.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4542\" data-end=\"4844\">The conflict is already affecting more than just military dynamics. Civilian casualties have been reported in Iran, Israel, and Lebanon. Global air travel has faced disruptions, and maritime trade in the region has slowed significantly. Shipping activity near the Strait of Hormuz has declined notably.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"4846\" data-end=\"4887\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Precious_Metals_Also_Move_Higher\"><\/span>Other Precious Metals Also Move Higher<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4889\" data-end=\"4977\">Rising geopolitical tensions have not only affected gold but also other precious metals.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4979\" data-end=\"5074\">Spot silver rose 1.4 percent to $90.67 per ounce, reaching its highest level in four weeks.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5076\" data-end=\"5175\">Platinum climbed 0.6 percent to $2,316.50, while palladium gained 1.6 percent to $1,795.08.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5177\" data-end=\"5417\">Global markets will likely focus on three major developments in the coming days: whether the conflict in the Middle East expands, the status of oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, and the impact of energy prices on global inflation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5177\" data-end=\"5417\"><em class=\"darkmysite_style_txt_border darkmysite_processed\" data-darkmysite_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\">You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
