After news of Trump’s win broke, gold prices dropped by 3% within a single day due to the strong rebound of the U.S. dollar. This decline was primarily driven by traders anticipating that Trump’s trade policies would include higher tariffs, likely keeping interest rates elevated and making gold more expensive for holders of other currencies.
According to me, gold prices began to decrease shortly after the election ended, as the U.S. dollar surged, exerting downward pressure on gold.
In the short term, gold prices may experience significant volatility as markets assess the impact of future Federal Reserve decisions and respond to global risk factors. Although fluctuations are expected, if U.S. interest rates decrease or additional geopolitical risks arise, gold prices could return to an upward trend.
