Show Notes

Gold rose about 3% on Nov. 4, 2026 and climbed above $4,000 as the dollar weakened after the midterm elections. This November 2026 episode of Outside The Dollar looks at why that matters for gold, silver and other precious metals. Host Elena Reyes walks through the Fed's inflation warning, Goldman Sachs' view of gold as a potential hedge, and a jump in central bank gold buying. She then turns to the election reaction, what the World Gold Council says about policy after elections, and U.S. debt and interest costs. The focus stays on purchasing power, diversification and the risks that come with physical gold. The episode draws on reporting from The Motley Fool, Outlook Money, Quartz and Reuters, plus World Gold Council analysis, Treasury debt data and Congressional Budget Office projections.
