Gold prices rallied significantly in the pre-market session, with the GLD ETF climbing over 3%. The primary driver for this upward move is the result of the U.S. midterm elections, where the Democratic party has reportedly secured control of both the House and Senate. This outcome has led to a weakening of the U.S. dollar and a dip in Treasury yields, increasing the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold. The market is also pricing in potential political uncertainty and a possible shift in economic policies, further boosting gold's status as a safe-haven asset.
