In the wake of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, financial analysts predict a significant shift towards safe-haven assets such as gold and the U.S. dollar. This incident is expected to bolster Trump’s election prospects.
The tech giant Meta had lifted its restrictions on Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts just a day before the attempt on his life. The news of the attempt has sparked global alarm, causing a ripple effect across financial markets. Bitcoin surged past the $60,000 mark, and demand for gold spiked as investors sought stability.
Analysts forecast a sharp increase in investments considered secure when markets open on Monday, July 15. The ramifications of this event are expected to be felt worldwide, highlighting the deep interconnection between political events and financial markets.
