Geopolitics and My Gold IRA - What's Everyone Thinking?

Is anyone else constantly checking the news these days and just feeling the global volatility in their gut? With everything going on, from election cycles to conflicts overseas, I can't help but wonder how much of an impact all this geopolitical tension is having, or will have, on my Gold IRA.
My late husband, bless his heart, was the one who got me into investing in the first place, and I started my Gold IRA a few years back with around $75,000. It felt like a smart move then, and it still does, especially with the world feeling so unpredictable. I'm in Raleigh, and honestly, sometimes it feels like a different planet when you're watching the news from abroad. I'm trying to protect what he worked so hard for, and seeing gold prices fluctuate based on headlines really makes me a bit anxious. Is it just me, or are we in for a long period of this kind of sensitivity?
I was playing around with that "Silver vs Stocks" tool on Gold IRA Blueprint (specifically the 10-year comparison) the other day, just out of curiosity to see different assets side-by-side, but my focus is definitely still on my gold. How are you all interpreting the current geopolitical climate in relation to your own precious metals? Are you making any adjustments, or just holding steady?
I'd love to hear if others with similar portfolios (say, in the $50k-$100k range) are feeling the same way or if you have some insights. It’s hard to predict, of course, but hearing different perspectives always helps.
