War, Warnings and What Comes Next: Gold North of $2,600?
By Kane White, CEO & Founder of Britannia Bullion and Montford Group
The moment the United States officially joined the conflict in Iran, the world changed again. Airstrikes were confirmed on nuclear sites across Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. Russia issued sharp warnings beforehand, claiming America had been told not to intervene. They didn’t listen.
Now, we’re watching the makings of a very different kind of market, one shaped not just by inflation and interest rates but also by geopolitical fear, military unpredictability, and the age-old rush to safety.
These moments are rare, but when they happen, smart money never hesitates to move to one place: gold.
What’s Happening – and Why It Matters
This isn’t a proxy war anymore. The U.S. has taken direct military action. Russia is publicly threatening retaliation. Israel and Iran are already engaged. And every investor, whether they realise it or not, is now playing on a very different field.
When fear rises, trust shifts, and trust rarely flows into paper promises in times like these.
We’re already seeing early market responses:
-
Gold has surged as capital rotates out of risk
-
Oil is volatile, driven by supply disruption fears
-
Equities are jittery. Sovereign debt? Still inflated.

Where Does Gold Go From Here?
Let me be clear, this is not financial advice.
But I’ve watched this market for over 14 years. I’ve built businesses in it. I’ve seen what happens when trust gets tested. And right now, with everything on the table, from missile strikes to nuclear threats, gold is not just reacting, it’s leading.
The target? North of $2,600 by the end of the week is not unrealistic. Many technical indicators support it. But more importantly, history supports it. When the world shakes, gold rises.
Not because it’s speculative, but because it’s real.
Why This Hits Harder Now
I don’t just write this as a CEO or market analyst. I write this as a father, a man trying to build something that lasts, not just for this year but for a future I won’t always control.
And the truth is, it’s hard to ignore the direction things are going. The institutions we once trusted, banks, governments, and even major currencies all show cracks under the pressure of debt, conflict, and political theatre.
Gold doesn’t fix the world. But it tells you the truth. And right now, it’s screaming.
What We’re Watching Next
-
Further U.S. involvement
-
Russia's response
-
Iranian escalation
-
Oil market disruption
-
Retail and institutional gold buying patterns
If conflict deepens, or if one more major player steps forward, gold could break not just $2,600, but make a run toward historical highs.
Final Thought
This isn’t about panic. It’s about pattern. When things unravel, those who prepared quietly move forward while others react too late.
Gold is not hype. It’s heritage. It’s been doing this long before we were here, and it’ll still be doing it when we’re gone.
Let's farm a bright future, oh, pun intended...
Until next time,
Father. Founder. Observer of the obvious.
