Gold retraces half of its losses following U.S. presidential election
Precious metals market shows signs of strength as tensions increase exponentially in Eastern Europe
Gold prices moved about a half-percent higher Thursday morning amid a growing worry among investors about increased tensions in Eastern Europe.
Ukrainian officials told ABC News Russia launched a single intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) toward southeastern Ukraine on Thursday, just days after the U.S. announced it would be permitting Ukraine to use American-made missiles to attack Russian territory.
Intercontinental ballistic missiles are widely known for the capability to carry nuclear warheads — though the one believed to have been used to attack Russia carried a conventional warhead.

However, it’s not immediately clear how credible the reports of the ICBM launch are, with Ukrainian officials telling ABC they are “95%” sure an ICBM was used, while U.S. officials are claiming it was instead an intermediate-range ballistic missile.
Gold traded 0.5% higher Thursday morning, an increase of $13 an ounce at $2,665 spot price. Silver traded flat Thursday, hovering in the $30.85 an ounce range.
Saxo Bank Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen noted silver’s sluggish response to the geopolitical tensions in a note released on X Thursday.
“Silver’s so-far sluggish recovery highlights this concern as the main driver, with limited support from industrial metals, which continue to be weighed down by the tariff threat to demand,” he wrote. “Gold has retraced half the recent $253 correction, reaching its 50-DMA at $2,661 as geopolitical concerns continue to feed fresh momentum.”
