📊 U.S. Elections: Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump by almost 7%

Despite Kamala Harris leading over Donald Trump, the election race is far from over. The key battlegrounds will likely be in seven states where recent polls indicated a tight race. Polls conducted by the New York Times and Siena College found Trump leading in three of these states—Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina—by a slim margin. When asked who would best address issues such as the economy, unemployment, and jobs, 43% of voters chose Donald Trump, while only 41% selected Kamala Harris. At present, there is no clear frontrunner in the presidential race, and markets are responding accordingly.

Gold (XAU) has been waiting for further developments and has remained relatively stable but has retreated from historical highs. XAUUSD may continue to grow if the current U.S. policy, promoted by Kamala Harris, is maintained. If the market receives a signal that Harris will receive a majority of votes in the swing states, then the pair will likely continue rising towards new highs.
