US-Venezuela Tensions Soar: Gold Prices Set to Ignite on Monday

• US-Venezuela conflict escalates, with US President Donald Trump announcing military action and detention of Nicolas Maduro, fueling geopolitical uncertainty.
• Investors are expected to flock to gold as a safe-haven asset, especially given Venezuela's significant gold reserves.
• Corporate demand, exemplified by Tether's large-scale gold purchases, is creating a strong demand base.
• A weakening Indian Rupee (5% decline in 2025) will make imported gold more expensive, further boosting domestic prices.
• The gold-silver ratio at 60 suggests gold is a safer investment than silver, adding to its appeal.

Why It Matters: Geopolitical tensions, corporate buying, and currency weakness are poised to drive gold prices significantly higher.
