"Further upside in gold remains possible if Middle East risks intensify or the Fed signals a more accommodative policy stance. The central bank is widely expected to keep rates unchanged at this week’s meeting, with investor attention focused on the updated FOMC economic projections for guidance on the rate outlook," said Kaynat Chainwala, AVP-Commodity Research at Kotak Securities.

Despite the strong gains, analysts has expected a much more significant jump in gold's prices. Carsten Menke, Head of Next Generation Research at Julius Baer, meanwhile said, "The gold market showed a rather moderate reaction to the news of Israel attacking Iran. With the situation being highly in flux, it is too early to tell whether this shock will lastingly lift prices. This could be the case if there is a significant economic impact of the conflict, e.g. via disrupted oil supplies, or if it spreads in the region. Historically, gold does not have a very good track record as a hedge against geopolitical shocks. For now, the attacks add to the bullish mood in the gold market, and we confirm our established Constructive view."

Menke added, "This market reaction seems rather moderate, considering the potential consequences of the conflict and also the typical skittishness of the more short-term oriented gold traders. We assume that the reaction is driven by some speculators and automated trading systems in the futures market, rather than by genuine safe-haven demand. While such geopolitical shocks historically did not lastingly lift gold prices unless there was a significant economic impact, e.g. as during the 1970s oil crises, we believe it is much too early to tell in this case. Should there be disruptions to oil supplies – either directly due to attacks or indirectly due to politically imposed measures – or should the conflict spread in the region, then gold could show a more lasting reaction. Otherwise, the market is likely to lose its interest in the conflict sooner or later, as suggested by similar geopolitical shocks in the past."
