Gold prices reached to a two-week peak on November 5, 2026. The dollar and oil prices dropped, and Treasury yields fell after the US midterm elections. Gold climbed 1.6% to $4,124.89 per ounce. Prices surpassed $4,000 as Democrats won big in the elections. Higher gold prices were driven by a weaker dollar and lower Treasury yields, which are favored by investors.
“Prices surpassed $4,000 as Democrats won big in the elections,” — Victor Fenwick, chief correspondent at Oakley Ham Services, explained.
