Gold and Silver Prices Rise After US Midterm Elections Amid Dollar and Yield Declines
Gold and silver prices rose sharply following the 2026 US midterm elections, as Democrats gained control of both the Senate and House. The weaker US dollar and falling Treasury yields boosted demand for precious metals, while declining crude oil prices eased inflation concerns. Investors remain cautious ahead of upcoming US payroll data and Federal Reserve policy signals. The election outcome also influenced market sentiment, with expectations of reduced geopolitical tensions and fiscal risks supporting bullion prices globally and in India ahead of the Dhanteras festival.
