With Israel-Iran conflict uncertainty, gold rallied to $3,440.
And there’s still more upside.
"Israel knocking out Iranian targets is causing a little bit of geopolitical scare in the market. Prices will stay elevated in the anticipation of what is to come, the retaliation by Iran," said Daniel Pavilonis, senior market strategist at RJO Futures, as quoted by Reuters.
That, plus central bank buying could easily send the metal to $4,000.
In fact, Goldman Sachs says gold could rally to $3,700 by the end of 2025, and to $4,000 by the middle of 2026. Even UBS analysts say gold could rally to $3,500 by December. According to analysts at JPMorgan, “The bank now expects gold prices to reach an average of $3,675/oz by 4Q25, on the way towards above $4,000/oz by 2026, with risks skewed towards an earlier overshoot of these forecasts if demand surpasses its expectations,” as reported by Reuters.
And remember, China’s central bank added to its gold reserves in May for the seventh straight month. And, as noted by CNBC, “The world’s central banks are on track to buy 1,000 metric tons of gold in 2025, which would be their fourth year of massive purchases as they diversify reserves from dollar-denominated assets into bullion, consultancy Metals Focus said.”
In short, gold is offering investors a substantial opportunity.
While investors can always buy gold ETFs such as the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), or even gold stocks, such as Newmont (NEM), they can gain exposure to gold and receive a monthly yield of 2.77% with the YieldMax Gold Miners Option Income Strategy ETF (GDXY).
The fund – which has an expense ratio of 0.99% - is able to maintain that consistent yield by generating monthly income by selling/writing call options on the GDX ETF.
Moving averages help to illuminate the current price positions as compared with the recent past. When you advance to creating your own charts, you will be able to choose how large a picture you’d like by selecting the number of calculation periods used in the construction of the moving averages. The determination of how many moving average periods to employ is based primarily on the expected duration of the option. Say you are planning to be in an option for 1 - 6 weeks for example, a 50-day moving average would be useful in determining the current trend.
Price variations and major shifts in trend direction bring about long and short moving average crossovers. Crossovers are a prime indicator of trading opportunities. Trades made in the direction of the shortest moving average crossover as it pierces the longer moving average.
When a long trading signal is recognized, you can consider purchasing a new long (Call) position. When short signals are generated, you would open a new short (Put) position. As shown on the chart below, arrows pointing upward are long signals and you would purchase Calls, expecting the price of the underlying to go up in value. The arrows pointing downward are short signals and you would purchase Puts, expecting the price of the underling to go down in value.
Depending on the underlying equity, crossovers can be a reliable signal. This works well with a chart that clearly shows a trend or that swings up and down in price over the course of a month or more. What you are seeing here is the 9-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossing up or down over the other EMAs. Notice on the chart how the 9-day EMA crosses up through the other EMAs in late October giving us a buy signal, and then crosses down in mid-November, giving a sell signal and/or a signal to purchase a Put.
There are two big events scheduled on the Economic Calendar this upcoming week. I’m looking forward to both of these. Albeit, you might be surprised which one I’m looking more forward to finally coming.
On Wednesday, June 18, the Federal Reserve will release the results of their Vote on whether or not to change Short-Term Interest Rates. They won’t! By that I mean they won’t change. They’ll keep on the same.
But we’re really looking forward to three other aspects of Wednesday’s FOMC Meeting. First will be the Fed’s Statement on the US Economy. We’ll be looking to see if they have any change in the terminology from their previous Statement.
Next will be the Fed’s Dot Plot. This shows the Fed’s Projection for Short-Term Interest Rates for the next few years. A half-hour later Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will hold a Press Conference.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees.
