Gold Buyers: Will President Trump Help Precious Metals?

When we look at the ways that the latest presidential election will influence the recent presidential election in the United States precious metals markets, it is important to assess the historical trends from a longer term perspective.  We could start to see a situation where the Federal Reserve is in a position to start raising interest rates again and this could ultimately bring bearish pressure to assets like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY).  This the the type of financial market activity that tends to be bullish for gold prices.
