Gold prices rose to a two-week peak on November 5, 2026. The dollar and oil prices dropped, and Treasury yields dropped after the US midterm elections. Gold climbed 1.6% to $4,124.89 per ounce. Prices exceeded $4,000 as Democrats gained significantly in the elections. Higher gold prices were driven by a weaker dollar and lower Treasury yields, which are attractive to investors.
“Gold prices rose to a two-week peak on November 5, 2026,” — Ingrid Thorne, senior market analyst at Oakburn Bury Media, told our newsroom.
