HSBC: Gold could rise to $1,500 an ounce if Trump wins the elections
The price of gold could rise to 1,500 dollars an ounce by the end of 2016 if Donald Trump wins the presidential election in the United States, analysts from HSBC said. On Tuesday there was published a poll, which shows that Trump for the first time since May, was pulled over Hillary Clinton. According to the study the candidate for US president Donald Trump is ahead of Hillary Clinton by 1%.
US presidential election will be held on 8 November. Gold is growing rapidly, adding 0.88 percent to 1288 dollars per ounce, analysts reported. Trump victory will undoubtedly contribute to the growth of quotations of gold since the policy of trade protectionism to which he adheres, will put pressure on the growth rate of the US economy, they added.

BTMU: USD/JPY remains in range to the US elections
Analysts at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ have a neutral view on USD/JPY, as they look to the next week and expect the pair to move between ¥102.50 and ¥104.50, while consider possible a risk of appreciation of the exchange rate.
Trading on the USD/JPY remains stable. All major markets, the yen bonds and the Exchange's Nikkei are stable, indicating low volatility and turnover in the past two weeks, analysts say.
Next week the yen will be bought by exporters, analysts said.
Their operations may increase at the end of the month, while the yen will likely be sold by Japanese investors who can keepthe pair to the lower border of the range of the rise in the exchange rate of USD/JPY, they added.
The dollar is unlikely to be strong on the eve of the US presidential election, experts write.
