Looking forward over the two-week ceasefire period, the futures market will likely enter a phase of hypersensitivity to headlines. The futures market is currently pricing in a “wait-and-see” approach, acknowledging the relief but refusing to fully discount the possibility of a renewed, wider conflict. While the ceasefire pauses the immediate threat of anti-aircraft fire and missile exchanges, it does not instantly normalize the airspace. The announcement of the two-week ceasefire introduces a complex dynamic for gold and sister metals like silver and platinum. For the duration of the two-week ceasefire, gold is likely to hold a strong technical floor.
