What’s up, fellas.

Our buy trading signal on gold seems to be doing well as the market has soared to $1,262. The recent gains in the dollar are caused by a softer buck and warning of a full-blown trade war after the U.S. tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese products. In retaliation, China’s commerce ministry countered with 25% tariffs on $34 billion worth of the U.S. imports.

Yup, it is. In fact, traders are worried about the upcoming actions from both of the economies. There’s an immense amount of uncertainty in the market which is keeping the market on its toes. The market is looking for a safe shelter for investments. As we know, gold is the safest one. Therefore, the yellow metal is likely to remain supported.
