Since the US-Israel joint attack on Iran in late February, the situation in the Middle East has been turbulent, severely impacting the global economy. Economist Wu Jialong analyzed that the ceasefire negotiations between the US and Iran are likely to break down, followed by large-scale attacks in an attempt to restore global order, potentially pushing gold prices to $8,000.

Economist predicts gold prices could reach $8,000 due to the breakdown of U.S.-Iran negotiations

Wu Jialong analyzed on Facebook yesterday (9 April 2026) that the ceasefire negotiations between the US and Iran are likely to break down, after which the U.S. will ruthlessly destroy Iran, eliminating the source of chaos in the Middle East, controlling Iran's oil supply chain, and even taking control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Wu Jialong believes that after resolving the Iran issue, the U.S. may initiate its withdrawal from NATO, withdraw approximately 100,000 US troops from Europe, and even potentially withdraw from the United Nations. This would not only significantly reduce the U.S. federal deficit and national debt accumulation but also restore the international order, achieving the vision of "making America great again."

Wu Jialong pointed out that Trump's term is only four years, so he is under time pressure. Therefore, he has adopted a "courtesy first, then force" strategy towards Iran. Once the Iranian Revolutionary Guards become enraged and frequently harasses neighboring countries, the Middle Eastern countries' dependence on the U.S. military will increase, naturally giving him a legitimacy to deal with Iran.

Wu Jialong emphasized that Iran is actually just a transitional phase in Trump's global strategy. Afterwards, he may turn his attention to Cuba and Greenland, and ultimately focus all his efforts on confronting CCP China. Therefore, the financial market will remain filled with uncertainty, generating safe-haven demand, which will support gold prices, and it is even possible that gold will challenge $8,000 before he leaves office.

Finally, Wu Jialong added in the comments section that the U.S. is expected to resolve the Iran issue by the end of April or early May. This would allow Trump to be in a relaxed mood during his visit to CCP China in mid-May, and make the rise in international oil prices a short-term phenomenon. This is Trump's wishful thinking or ideal scenario.
