In this week’s deep dive into the gold and silver markets, Andrew Maguire provides insight into the short and long term impact of the US election on the gold price.

The gold price after the US election

Andrew Maguire believes that regardless of the ultimate resolution of the US election, once an initial period of volatility settles the outlook for gold is positive.

For positive indicators for the gold price, the precious metals expert points to the massive stimulus package announced by each presidential candidate. According to Andrew Maguire, the vast inflow of stimulus into the economy will balloon global debt, in turn, swelling physical gold demand.

Relative to weakening fiat currencies, gold will do what it has done for thousands of years, act as a safe haven.

International safe-haven physical demand

In the wider market, Andrew Maguire shares word of safe-haven demand coming in from large European and Asian banks. The precious metals expert reports the banks are already securing physical gold and silver against paper gold and silver, ahead of an anticipated depreciation of fiat value.

In an unprecedented move, the banks intend to take physical delivery for December gold long Futures contracts. The reports have confirmed by a source at the desk of a very large first-tier European bank, disclosing that their institution is busy locking in Futures contracts for delivery. The professionally hedged positions are seeking delivery, at the end of November.
