The commodities (gold and crude oil) were very noisy on Monday on the back of mixed fundamentals. Oil initially gapped lower and then covered the gap on the same day. The gap was caused by Trump’s tweet where he stated that Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud had agreed to produce more oil.
This morning, gold seems to gain support after the U.S. President Donald Trump warned the WTO (World Trade Organization) that “we’ll be doing something” if the U.S. is not treated properly. This came in response to EU’s remarks that U.S. automotive tariffs would damage its own vehicle industry.

Looks like, the market is heated up with tariff arguments, yet the dollar is gaining momentum, keeping gold stronger. Besides these tensions, the investors are awaiting the U.S. labor market figures later this week. Let me share fresh trading levels for gold and crude oil, keeping the NFP in mind.
