Gold and Silver Prices React to US Midterm Election Results and Market Factors
Gold and silver prices fluctuated around the US midterm elections, with initial declines on Election Day followed by gains as results showed Democrats gaining control of Congress. The weaker US dollar, falling Treasury yields, and softer oil prices eased inflation concerns, boosting demand for precious metals. Analysts noted that the election outcome could influence US policy and global markets, while Indian gold demand is expected to remain firm ahead of Dhanteras despite higher prices. Geopolitical tensions and Federal Reserve rate expectations also shaped market movements.
