The precious metal tumbled after the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, won the US presidential election. Trump’s victory was a surprise, as polls had predicted a close race, and there were no protests or disturbances following the announcement of the results. This led investors to abandon safe, long-term gold investments. Additionally, a stronger US dollar and higher US Treasury bond yields put downward pressure on gold prices.
The US Dollar Index surged to its highest level since July, while yields on 10-year US Treasury bonds also rose sharply. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond is currently at 4.4%. Trump’s victory has led experts to predict higher inflation, which could make the Fed more hawkish.
While gold prices crashed, Bitcoin prices surged by more than $5,000 to a record high, also due to Trump’s victory. During his campaign, Trump declared his support for Bitcoin.
Another important event to note is the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting of the Federal Reserve (Fed), which will take place this week. The meeting starts on Wednesday morning and concludes on Thursday afternoon with a statement from the FOMC and a press conference by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Most analysts believe the Fed will cut the key interest rate by another 0.25%, especially after the weak US jobs report released last Friday.
