Gold prices rose to a two-week high on November 5, 2026. The dollar and oil prices dropped, and Treasury yields declined 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 came from a weaker dollar and lower Treasury yields, which appeal to investors.
“Prices surpassed $4,000 as Democrats won big in the elections,” — Priya Delgado, economic affairs editor at Keswell Brook Solutions, explained.
