I would not make much of this move. The news broke out some 15 minutes before closing for the weekend, and there were a lot of shorts who decided to cover their position, and take profits thus pushing Gold slightly up.
Comes Sunday night when real trading starts, then Gold will likely be under pressure.
Yes, with tension traders sell Gold, and with peace they buy Gold, but this happens during liquid normal trading hours.

The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz. One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship. Damage was done, but the Ship was able to proceed on its way. We knocked down three other Drones. Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement. President DONALD J. TRUMP
