This is going to be one of those days where ANYTHING can (and probably will) happen in markets, depending on election news, leaks, exit polling results, and more. So, buckle up! As of this morning, stocks are flattish along with gold and silver. Crude oil is up a bit, while Treasuries and the dollar are down modestly.
Wall Street calls them “Trump Trades.” Long or short positions in various asset classes and market sectors that investors use to express an opinion on whether Donald Trump will defeat Kamala Harris...or not. 
Markets are swinging on last-minute election news and polling results, though stocks are mostly holding Friday’s gains. The dollar is dropping, while Treasury bonds are rallying. Crude oil is rising on geopolitical fears.
This morning’s employment report was a whopper, and it’s having big impacts in the markets. Gold jumped, the Treasury market initially “bull steepened” before cooling off, the dollar fell, and stocks surged after the data.

Executive editor of Gold Newsletter Brien Lundin and editor of Gold Charts R Us Omar Ayales discuss the current "golden era" in precious metals and investment opportunities. Lundin highlights central bank buying, de-dollarization efforts, and potential U.S. investor participation as gold prices rise. He predicts silver outperforming gold and recommends junior mining stocks. Ayales focuses on the shift to an inflationary environment, global fragmentation, and increased gold holdings as a reserve asset. Both experts note the lack of U.S. investor participation as a bullish sign and provide price targets for precious metals.
