Chapter 9: Geopolitical Risk and Safe-Haven Flows 

Money Loser: Another border conflict in the Middle East… and look—gold is spiking again. 

Money Maker: Welcome to the emotional core of gold: geopolitical risk. When the world gets nervous, gold gets love. 

Money Loser: So gold’s like a financial bunker? 

Money Maker: Exactly. Let’s walk through the how, why, and when of safe-haven flows

Money Maker: Any tension that threatens global stability—military, political, diplomatic—is geopolitical risk: 

· Wars 

· Sanctions 

· Coups 

· Trade tensions 

· Nuclear threats 

Money Loser: How does that link to gold? 

Money Maker: Uncertainty = fear. And gold thrives on fear. It’s trustless money—no counterparty, no politics, no borders. 

Money Maker: Safe havens are assets that retain or grow in value during crisis: 

· Gold 

· U.S. Treasuries 

· Swiss Franc (CHF) 

· Japanese Yen (JPY) 

· U.S. Dollar (USD) 

Money Loser: But wait—why does gold compete with the dollar sometimes? 

Money Maker: Depends on the type of crisis. Some fear fuels both, others make them diverge. We’ll get to that. 

Money Maker: Gold has unique qualities: 

· No debt 

· No issuer 

· Universally accepted 

· Centuries of trust
