Gold jumps on U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran, oil surges and markets brace for spillover

Gold jumps on U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran, oil surges and markets brace for spillover

Gold surged Monday, with investors snapping up the metal as a shelter after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran pushed tensions higher. Spot prices advanced 2% to $5,384.41 an ounce by 1406 GMT, just shy of the recent record after touching $5,418.50. U.S. gold futures jumped 2.9% to $5,397.40. The timing of the jump—right out of the gate this week—threw fresh uncertainty at markets, which are busy weighing whether these most recent attacks signal a broader conflict that could threaten energy flows and pull in more players. Gold’s usually the first refuge when headlines start to unravel, but whether that run sticks around usually hinges on if the turmoil breaks out of the war zone.

VOO drops premarket as Iran strike pushes oil up — what’s driving Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF

VOO drops premarket as Iran strike pushes oil up — what’s driving Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF

Vanguard’s S&P 500 ETF dropped about 1% before the bell Monday after the United States and Israel carried out a weekend strike on Iran, TipRanks reported. Oil surged nearly 8%. Investors shifted to safe-haven assets, pushing gold futures up 3.4% during the crisis. VOO tracks the S&P 500, meaning its swings mirror the action in big U.S. stocks. When headlines send it lower, that usually points to investors bailing on risk—it's not about Vanguard specifically.

Broadcom earnings week: Baird and Oppenheimer stick with Buy calls as AVGO options heat up

Broadcom earnings week: Baird and Oppenheimer stick with Buy calls as AVGO options heat up

Broadcom is set to deliver its quarterly results this week, and Robert W. Baird is holding on to its Buy rating, keeping the price target at $420, a note cited by a report said. The firm’s stance rests on what it sees as solid demand for Broadcom’s custom chips powering artificial intelligence systems, according to the report. Timing’s the key here. Chip stocks have swung around since Nvidia’s results, and investors are watching for a clearer signal: is the AI buildout still turning into fresh orders and real pricing power for hardware suppliers?
