GOLD IS ABOUT TO REPEAT 1979 — And This Is The Part Everyone Is Ignoring.
In 1979, the Iran crisis sent oil soaring and gold parabolic — from $200 to $850 in a frenzy. Everyone celebrated it as the start of a new golden era.
They were wrong.
What came next was brutal. The Fed lost control of inflation, then slammed the brakes hard. Interest rates were hiked toward 20%, liquidity was sucked out of the system, and gold didn’t protect anyone — it crashed from $850 all the way down to $300.
Now look at 2026.
The setup is rhyming dangerously well:
Iran conflict rapidly escalating
Oil prices surging higher
Supply chains under stress
Inflation quietly creeping back
Here’s the controversial truth most gold bugs refuse to accept:
Gold is not a safe haven during the crisis.
It only becomes one until central banks react.
As long as liquidity is loose and fear is high, gold rallies.
But the moment inflation forces the Fed and other central banks to tighten again — gold becomes the biggest victim.
