Presidential Election!

I wonder how the election result today will affect the price of precious metals?

My crystal ball broke a long time ago.

aint no presidential election

there are no candidates worthy of the title

just a charade to distract while they continue with BAU

Well, looks like the market doesn't like precious metals right now. Is it a reaction to the election? :shrugs:

I thought I had read somewhere (don't remember where, no link) an analysis of the time the networks had spent talking about each candidate and the coverage was so skewed it was crazy. MSM is just propaganda.

Holy shit. Trump is a master troll.

Britain and France on Sunday night snubbed a contentious EU emergency meeting to align the bloc’s approach to Donald Trump’s election, exposing rifts in Europe over the US vote.

Hailed by diplomats as a chance to “send a signal of what the EU expects” from Mr Trump, the plan fell into disarray after foreign ministers from the bloc’s two main military powers declined to attend the gathering demanded by Berlin and Brussels.

Mr Trump at the weekend met Nigel Farage, the populist Brexit campaigner who has become the first foreign politician to meet the future US president. ...
