    DONALD Trump’s triumph in the US presidential election has wiped out phenomenal gains in gold prices over the past two months. But market watchers remain bullish over the longer-term outlook for the precious yellow metal.

    Since the start of November – ahead of the election – gold prices have been on a downward trend, retreating from all-time highs.

    Shortly after Trump claimed victory on Nov 6, however, spot gold prices fell to below US$2,700 per ounce.
