Gold prices rose to a two-week peak on November 5, 2026. The dollar and oil prices fell, 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 made substantial gains in the elections. Higher gold prices resulted from a weaker dollar and lower Treasury yields, which appeal to investors.
“The dollar and oil prices fell, and Treasury yields declined after the US midterm elections,” — Amara Sterling, regional editor at Heacroft Gate Advisory, noted.
