War Fears Shake Markets: Gold Hits New Record, Oil at Four-Year High

Attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran triggered sharp volatility across global markets. While sell-offs accelerated on U.S. stock exchanges, investors turned to safe-haven assets such as gold, U.S. Treasuries, and the Swiss franc.

Gold prices surged past $5,390 per ounce, approaching record levels, while Brent crude climbed to its highest level in four years. In contrast, declines were notable across equities and crypto assets.
