Middle East clashes are driving up oil and inflation — protect your portfolio wi
Created
Thesis
Rising geopolitical clashes in the Middle East are disrupting global oil supplies, which pushes energy prices higher and stokes inflation fears. When inflation rises and global tensions flare, big institutional investors flee to gold as a safe place to store wealth. Instead of just buying gold itself, buying shares of the companies that mine the gold gives you outsized gains when the metal's price rises. This setup is a classic hedge against a chaotic global backdrop.
Strategy approach
Build a momentum strategy for Gold Miners (GDX) on the daily timeframe. Enter a long position when the price breaks above the 20-day Bollinger Band upper rail. Use the Average True Range (ATR) over 14 days to set a trailing stop loss at 2x ATR below the entry price. Exit if the price closes below the 10-day EMA.
