Just when everyone was getting used to gold sitting around and doing nothing while tech stocks provided non-stop thrills and chills, the metal took off this morning on the “news” (read “Tweet”) that Trump is aiming some cruise missiles at Syria.

The correct answer is that the chart doesn’t (or at least shouldn’t) matter in a world where Russia might soon be trying to shoot down US cruise missiles, Chinese and US aircraft carriers are staking competing claims to the South China Sea and trillion-dollar deficits are explicit and unapologetic government policy.
But until fundamentals retake control and precious metals start acting like bitcoin circa 2017, charts like this one are a fun diversion.
