⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION
Gold's stabilization reflects risk-off unwinding rather than fundamental strength. Monitor for renewed escalation headlines; current positioning suggests limited upside unless tensions reignite. Equities may outperform in near-term on de-escalation relief, but macro headwinds (rates, inflation) remain.
