World gold prices jump after Israel's large-scale attack on Iran

(Baohatinh.vn) - World gold price at 9:30 am on June 13 climbed to its highest level in recent times due to Israel's large-scale attack on Iran.

At 9:30 a.m. on June 13, Vietnam time, the spot gold price reached $3,436.29/ounce, the highest level in many days.

Gold rose for a second straight day, driven largely by rising geopolitical risks, said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at precious metals trading firm Zanier Metals.

US President Donald Trump said the US was moving personnel out of the Middle East because it “could be a dangerous place.” Meanwhile, according to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), dozens of targets across Iran related to its nuclear program and other military facilities are being attacked by the Israeli Air Force. This operation is called “Nation of Lions.”

The IDF says Iran now has enough enriched uranium to build multiple nuclear bombs in just a few days, forcing Israel to act against this imminent threat.

Sirens that sounded across Israel earlier were confirmed to be an early warning issued by the IDF, in preparation for a possible Iranian retaliation.
