Gold and Silver Prices Rise Ahead of Dhanteras Following US Midterm Election Results
Gold and silver prices in India rose sharply on November 5, 2026, ahead of the Dhanteras festival, following gains in international bullion markets after the US midterm elections. Democratic victories weakened the US dollar and lowered Treasury yields, boosting demand for precious metals globally. Prices increased across major cities and leading jewellery brands, with 24K gold reaching around Rs 1,46,000 per 10 grams. On November 6, prices edged lower amid uncertainty over US policy and oil prices, while investors awaited key economic data.
