On overseas bourses, spot gold echoed the domestic rally by climbing back toward USD 4,140 per ounce, reinforcing the international price floor.

Weaker US Dollar and Falling Crude Oil Prices Propel Precious Metals

The sudden revival in bullion demand has been driven primarily by geopolitical and macroeconomic triggers unfolding in global financial markets. Following the sweeping victory of the Democratic Party in the US midterm elections, the US dollar encountered downward pressure across major foreign currency pairs. A softening dollar made dollar-denominated bullion significantly more attractive for foreign buyers, directly lifting spot gold across global bourses. Simultaneously, a sharp downward correction in Brent crude oil prices eased broader market anxiety surrounding sticky global inflation and economic volatility, creating an ideal liquidity environment for institutional and retail capital to rotate into physical and paper gold and silver assets.
