Yes, I think it is going up before the USA election. Plus the latest news from FBI makes the road to US presidency wider for Trump. However, since the presidential inauguration is in January 8, there will be some chance of Interest Rate hike by The Feds. This will bring down the Gold price even further than this week gain.
Would it though? Have a look when this bull market started vs the last US rate hike. If anything the last hike catalysed the prices we've seen since then. If they hike in December [again] I reckon that we're going to see things absolutely skyrocket.
