Trump Win Sends Gold to Busiest-Ever Trading Day as Volume Jumps

Donald Trump’s victory is also a win for gold brokers.

Gold had its heaviest-ever trading day as investors rushed to havens on concern Trump’s presidency will upend decades of U.S. economic and foreign policy. More than 780,000 futures changed hands by 2:30 p.m. in New York, surpassing the volume on June 24 after Britain decided to leave the European Union, based on data using the most-active Comex contract.
