Gold set to benefit as U.S. dollar faces headwinds, strategist says

MarketWatch highlights a view from a strategist that China’s resilience amid the U.S. and Iran conflict could shift the balance in global markets toward gold.

The strategist argues that gold would emerge as the biggest winner, while the U.S. dollar could face downside pressure as the conflict contributes to a broader shift in the world order.

The piece frames the outlook as a relative trade between the metal and the currency rather than a single-country policy decision, pointing to the potential market impact of the changing geopolitical landscape.
