Investing in crisis

Hello everyone ! I am new to this but we are entering an era of geopolitical instability and high volatility of the markets . I want to invest a small amount of money around 2k and aiming for reasonable return in 6 months . As I am not much educated on this not sure on how or what to invest on ? If you can guide me and we can discuss here what we are expecting to happen in the next few months . I was planning to buy gold because it’s going up but not sure ? Or should we bet on oil ?
