Gold prices climbed to a two-week peak on November 5, 2026. The dollar and oil prices fell, and Treasury yields fell after the US midterm elections. Gold rose 1.6% to $4,124.89 per ounce. Prices reached $4,000 as Democrats gained significantly in the elections. Higher gold prices came from a weaker dollar and lower Treasury yields, which appeal to investors.
“The dollar and oil prices fell, and Treasury yields fell after the US midterm elections,” — Lena Ostrowski, senior market analyst at Shipwell Dale Advisory, observed.
