This situation has significantly heightened market concerns over the spread of geopolitical conflict and global economic uncertainty, prompting safe-haven capital to pour into the precious metals market.On March 2 local time, U.S. President Trump stated publicly that it is absolutely unacceptable for Iran to possess nuclear weapons and that the U.S. will continue to conduct large-scale military operations within Iranian territory. The operational objectives of the U.S. and Israel are clear: to completely destroy Iran's missile research, development, and launch capabilities, thereby preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons at the source.Trump also revealed that military operations against Iran are expected to last four to five weeks, though the U.S. is prepared for a duration that could &#34;far exceed expectations.&#34; He further claimed that the U.S. objective is to completely destroy the Iranian Navy and that 10 Iranian vessels have already been sunk.Analysts at JPMorgan Chase noted that following the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran and subsequent regional retaliations, the &#34;risk premium&#34; for gold prices is expected to shift upward by 5% to 10% in the short term. However, the analysts also emphasized that such surges in precious metal prices triggered by geopolitical conflicts &#34;tend to be aggressive but are difficult to sustain over the long term.&#34;The rally in gold and silver could reverse at any time if signs of de-escalation emerge or if a decline in global equity markets prompts investors to liquidate precious metal assets to cover losses and raise cash.Nevertheless, JPMorgan remains bullish on gold prices in the long run. Its report indicated that despite short-term price fluctuations, demand from global central banks and investor allocations will collectively drive gold prices to $6,300 per ounce by the end of 2026.Find out more</div>

As tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalate, gold and silver prices have risen due to safe-haven buying. U.S. President Trump has stated that military operations against Iran will continue, aiming to eliminate its nuclear capabilities. Analysts predict a short-term increase in gold prices by 5% to 10% due to the geopolitical risk, but caution that such surges may not be sustainable. JPMorgan remains optimistic about long-term gold prices, forecasting them to reach $6,300 per ounce by the end of 2026.

- On March 3, during the Asian trading session, spot gold (XAUUSD) and silver (XAGUSD) experienced slight increases.  
- This rebound is primarily attributed to the escalating airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, raising geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainties, prompting safe-haven investments in precious metals.  
- Despite potential volatility in the short term, JPMorgan maintains a bullish long-term outlook for gold, predicting prices could reach $6,300 per ounce by the end of 2026.
