Political Instability Drives Safe Havens

Multiple articles confirm gold hitting record highs driven explicitly by safe-haven demand amid tariff conflicts, political turmoil predictions, and geopolitical instability, consistent with the original thesis. No articles show capital flowing out of safe havens or risk-on assets outperforming during instability, which would have matched the falsification criteria. The Bitcoin-vs-gold framing suggests some competition among safe-haven alternatives but does not contradict the core thesis of safe-haven demand rising with instability.
