Gold prices have risen in US markets Monday, continuing its gains for the second consecutive day of trading above levels of $1.900 per ounce.

This is due to the surge in gold purchases as a safe haven ahead of the US presidential elections.

According to the Wall Street Journal, gold prices rose by 0.7 percent to $1.890.55, from today's opening trading level at $ 1.187.40. The lowest level today was at $ 1.173.47.
