After the publication of the election results for the US Congress, the price of Brent oil fell sharply from $106 to $94-96 per barrel.
There are hopes in the market that now, in a confrontation with Congress, President Trump will be forced to reduce the intensity of pressure on Iran, which will increase the flow of oil in the Gulf of Hormuz.
Even today, precious metals increase by 1-2% (gold by 1.5%).
The markets became a little more optimistic following the results of the US elections.
