Price Review: Gold and Silver, November 2–6
Why gold fell. According to Reuters and CNBC, prices came under pressure from a stronger US dollar, rising US Treasury yields, and expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in December. Standard Chartered, however, believes the decline was driven mainly by liquidity factors rather than weaker fundamentals.
What changed this week. After the US midterm elections, the dollar weakened: on November 4, gold gained almost 3.4% in a single day, and on November 5 it reached a two-week high of around $4,147 per ounce. Silver followed gold, but with sharper moves.
Two-week high on November 5, per ounce.
Up 4.6% in a single day on November 4, per ounce.
Gold purchased in Q3 2026, up 42% year on year (World Gold Council).
