"Gold looks like it will closely track the dollar, and that means it will hinge on this week's inflation report...The reason investors are so fixated with this week's inflation data instead of the midterm election is that it seems highly likely the Republicans will win one of the chambers this week. Even if the Republicans win both the House and Senate, the bullish reaction for risky assets might be short-lived," OANDA senior market analyst Edward Moya told Kitco News. Inflation data and the US Fed's next monetary policy will be moving the gold rates further.
