DUBLIN, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The head of the world's largest aircraft leasing company, AerCap AER.N, cautioned on Monday against overreacting to recent geopolitical and economic uncertainty and said the aviation financing industry worked on secure long-term cycles. Speaking to Reuters ahead of the Airline Economics conference, CEO Aengus Kelly said soaring gold prices reflected depreciating currencies as much as wider risk and that he saw "absolutely no sign" of weaker appetite for dollar-based assets.
