People around the world aren’t waiting breathlessly to make financial decisions until after our election. They’re already buying and selling gold, buying and holding gold, and applying all kinds of strategies to profit from the metal. Just recently, for example, China acquired an estimated 11 tons of gold and salted it away, which helped drive up prices. Russia is buying up reserves of gold too. So chances are pretty good that those activities will continue, so the trading price of gold isn’t about to fall anytime soon – not even after our November election.
