Zijin Gold International's stock soared 5.12% during intraday trading on Tuesday, leading gains among Hong Kong-listed gold equities.
The surge in gold stocks comes amid renewed geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump recently stated that the current ceasefire agreement is "extremely fragile" and in a "precarious" state, while Iranian officials indicated serious disagreements on key issues. This escalation has become a core factor supporting gold prices as investors seek safe-haven assets.
Analysts note that in the short term, precious metals are fluctuating with developments in the Middle East and expectations around Federal Reserve policy. Against the broader backdrop of uncertainty in global tariff policies and persistent geopolitical tensions, safe-haven and stagflation trading remain central themes for gold, underpinning its long-term allocation value.
