I was thinking more about the price of gold jumping today... up $22 at the moment.

1552 , we are rolling now .
Potentially starting a war doesn't hurt the price of gold.
I think oil will start to go up Mon .
Spiking oil prices have led to recessions in the past, and that’s why the stock market is on edge
The latest flare-up in U.S.-Iran relations could bring about the end of the longest bull market ever if crude prices keep surging, slowing an already fragile global economy even further.
But investors cautioned we’re not yet at that point.
The last three U.S. recessions all came after a sharp increase in oil prices. Between July and October of 1990, crude shot up nearly 135%. The U.S. economy then entered a recession that lasted until 1991. Crude more than doubled between 1999 and 2000 before the economy fell into a recession in 2001. Oil also shot up more than 96% from its 2007 low into early 2008, just before the most recent U.S. recession.
Crude prices shot up as much as 4.8% on Friday after the U.S. killed Gen. Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian military leader, as worries that an escalation between the two countries could batter the Middle East region and the global oil supply. Oil later gave up some of those gains to trade around 3.3% higher at $63.18 per barrel. Crude is still up more than 20% from its low around $51 in October.
The ramifications of a sustained crude price surge could be even bigger than a disruption in oil supply if a recession ensues.
I can see gold going up to its all time high's of $1800. If you look at the chart its now on an upward trajectory and may be heading to its 2012 all time high.
I'm definitely in the market for gold atm.
I think there should be potential for 2K
Should be looking at 1600 soon I reckon.
