Markets React to US Midterms with Gold Rally and Dollar Dip
Gold prices and Wall Street stocks rallied on November 4, 2026, following the Democratic Party's sweep of the US midterm elections, while the US dollar dipped. Spot gold climbed more than 2% to US$4,138 an ounce, but analysts cautioned that further gains could be limited by expectations of a Fed rate hike in December. The US dollar index fell to 101.24, with experts noting that improving investor sentiment post-midterms reduced demand for the safe-haven currency. Equities saw a mixed reaction, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rising, but semiconductor stocks falling. Analysts predict gold could reach US$4,500 in the coming months and exceed US$5,000 by the end of 2027.

Bitcoin Drops to Seven-Week Low Amid Tech Stock Rout
Bitcoin sank to a seven-week low, falling below $76,000 after a 5.8% drop, as a broader sell-off in technology stocks hurt riskier assets. The Nasdaq 100 plunged 6.4%, led by chipmakers, amid weak earnings outlooks and regulatory concerns in the AI industry. The decline reflected a deepening risk-off mood, with digital assets already facing industry-specific challenges.

Dollar’s Dominance as Reserve Currency Persists Despite Inflation Challenges
The US dollar remains the world’s leading reserve currency due to its legal framework, widespread use in trade, and deep financial markets. Its share of global reserves has declined to 57 percent in mid-2026, but it still holds a dominant position. Other currencies like the Swiss franc and Japanese yen have safe-haven qualities but lack the scale to compete. The Federal Reserve is focused on maintaining price stability, with inflation currently above the 2 percent goal, prompting expectations of a more restrictive monetary policy.

Stocks surge as Democrats secure midterm victories ending uncertainty
Stocks surged on Wednesday after Democrats won key midterm races, ending political uncertainty. The Nasdaq Composite rose 1.4%, the S&P 500 gained 1.58%, and the Dow soared by 1,569 points. Analysts attributed the rally to clarity in election results, predicting Democrats might limit some of Trump’s economically disruptive actions. However, the results posed risks for the AI boom, with potential data center restrictions in key states like Texas, Ohio, and Georgia. Tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft jumped 6%, while shares of Trump Media & Technology Group plummeted 25%.
