Geopolitical stuff hitting my gold IRA - anyone else seeing this?

Okay, so I’ve been watching the news lately – feels like every day there's something new popping off around the world. Between the tensions in the Middle East and some of the rumblings coming out of Eastern Europe, I’m wondering if anyone else in here who’s holding gold in their IRA is feeling the impact on prices? My portfolio is mostly stable, sitting somewhere in the low to mid six-figures, but I've definitely seen a bump in my physical gold holdings over the last few weeks.
I’m located down here in Louisville, got my horse farm humming along, and I tend to be pretty practical about my wealth. I put a good chunk into a Gold IRA a few years back specifically for that stability during uncertain times, and honestly, it’s proving its worth. I’ve always been a believer in diversification, and with stocks being as volatile as they are right now, it makes me feel better knowing I have some tangible assets that aren't tied directly to the stock market's daily whims.
I was actually playing around with that "Gold vs Stocks Comparison" tool on Gold IRA Blueprint (https://goldvsstocks.goldirablueprint.com/?period=10Y) just yesterday, looking at the 10-year chart. It's pretty interesting to see how gold tracks differently, especially during big geopolitical events. It reinforces why I went with it. Are you guys seeing similar trends in your own portfolios, or is it just me? Any thoughts on how long this current geopolitical unease might continue to prop up gold prices?
I’m also curious if any of you are considering adding more physical gold or even platinum to your IRA right now, given the current climate. Or are you holding steady? Would love to hear some other perspectives from folks who’ve been in this game longer than I have. Always learning over here.
