Gold price today rebounds above $5,100 as Iran war keeps safe-haven demand alive

Gold prices jumped Wednesday, lifted by heightened tension in the Middle East and a pause in the dollar’s climb. Spot gold gained 0.7%, reaching $5,120.71 an ounce as of 1831 GMT. U.S. gold futures for April edged up 0.2% to settle at $5,134.70. Silver rose 1.3% to $83.07, while both platinum and palladium moved higher as well. “The dollar has seen a pullback, which is providing some support,” noted Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals. Traders stayed on edge, despite the brief rebound. Gold had spiked in late January, hitting a record $5,594.82, but sharp swings since then have left the market wary, Robert Gottlieb, previously head of precious metals at Koch Supply and Trading,

SoFi Technologies’ Mastercard stablecoin deal puts SoFiUSD settlement in focus as CEO buys $1 million of SOFI stock

SoFi Technologies, Inc. on Tuesday announced a broader partnership with Mastercard, allowing its U.S. dollar-linked stablecoin, SoFiUSD, to settle payments across Mastercard’s worldwide network. The company added that its bank arm plans to use SoFiUSD to settle both credit and debit card transactions that run on Mastercard rails. Timing is crucial here: settlement—the actual shifting of funds between banks after a card gets swiped—often drags on and racks up costs, more so with cross-border transactions. Enter stablecoins, those crypto tokens pegged to the U.S. dollar, which are touted for enabling money transfers 24/7, sidestepping the usual bank cutoff windows.

Sea Limited shares slide after Shopee spending jump and cooler 2026 growth target

Sea Limited’s shares sank in U.S. trading Tuesday after the Singapore-based company warned of ramped-up spending to shore up its Shopee unit and signaled a deceleration in gross merchandise value—the sum of goods sold on its platform. Operating expenses jumped over 28% to $2.43 billion for the quarter. Marketing outlays spiked at both Shopee and the digital finance business, Monee, Sea reported. This stumble comes at a tricky time for Sea. Lately, investors have started to view the company as a straightforward play on both growth and profit, with Shopee carrying most of the narrative. A spike in costs, though, prompts immediate questions: are those improvements real, or just purchased?

Iran war rattles oil, gold and stocks again as Seoul crashes and Wall Street hunts for an off‑ramp

Wednesday saw another slide across Asian markets, with South Korea’s KOSPI tumbling 12% and Brent crude holding firm at $83.76 a barrel as traders braced for a drawn-out energy jolt from the Iran conflict. Gold, battered by a 4% drop on Tuesday, clawed back 1.5% to $5,155 an ounce. U.S. futures ticked a bit lower; Europe’s STOXX 600 managed a 0.6% gain. “Asia’s selloff is turning disorderly,” said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo in Singapore, noting that investors are no longer shrugging off the war as a short-term shock. Energy typically channels geopolitical shocks straight into inflation — and that’s where traders are still pinning their bets on rate cuts.

Circle Internet Group stock gets a rates boost as Mizuho lifts target to $100

Shares of Circle Internet Group climbed roughly 3.6% to $99.63 Wednesday, following Mizuho Securities’ move to boost its price target to $100 while maintaining a neutral stance on the stablecoin company. Analyst Dan Dolev pointed to higher oil prices as a possible inflation driver, warning, “Rising oil prices could drive up inflation, lowering the odds of rate cuts.” Investors are still wrestling with how to value Circle, mostly as a play on interest rates. The company, which runs the USDC stablecoin pegged to the dollar and backed by reserves, generates revenue from parking those reserves in bank accounts and short-term Treasuries. Seaport Research Partners’ Jeff Cantwell called out the ongoing fast growth for USDC, while CEO Jeremy Allaire flagged that

Gold tumbles 5% as the dollar climbs and the Iran war tests the safe-haven bid

Gold tumbled over 5% Tuesday, snapping back from a four-week peak as the metal lost ground to a firmer dollar and higher bond yields. Spot gold dropped 5.6%, sitting at $5,029.59 an ounce at 1450 GMT. U.S. gold futures retreated 5.1% to $5,041.50. https://www.reuters.com/world/india/gold-extends-gains-middle-east-war-boosts-safe-haven-demand-2026-03-03/ This shift’s significant—markets are juggling two jolts simultaneously. Iran’s conflict is sending traders toward so-called safe havens whenever risk surges. Yet, the very same situation is pushing energy prices up, stirring inflation concerns all over again.
