One of the patterns with the Iran war, was that escalations were considered to be good for the $ and bad for gld as a) people need $ to buy oil, and b) conflict will increase inflation prompting the fed to increase rates. On point b the market has seemingly already gone from pricing in rate cuts, to 2 rate increases (which personally I doubt will happen). Tldr - is that if market has priced in increases already, the only way is up (fingers crossed)
