Gold is the best portfolio hedge in the event Donald Trump retakes the White House, according to the latest Bloomberg Markets Live Pulse survey.

Proponents of the precious metal as a haven play in case of Trump’s reelection outnumbered those picking the US dollar two-to-one among the 480 respondents. Just over 60% of those surveyed see the greenback ultimately weakening in the event the Republican candidate secures another presidential term.
