Gold Going Nowhere – Symmetric Triangle Pattern Holds
The risk-on sentiment is still on amid the trade war between the US and China. With that, gold continues to stay supported over the boosted safe-haven appeal. Earlier today, the yellow metal gold prices edged higher profits as recession fears depressed risk sentiment, with traders following updates on the US-China trade war along with global central banks for direction on interest rates.
US-China Trade War
On the trade front, the Trump administration delivered an extra 5% tariffs on $300 billion worth Chinese imports and fixed collecting dates of September 1 and December 15.
Whereas, Donald Trump has reduced his aggressiveness on China trade rhetoric. It still remains uncertain whether US and Chinese negotiators will continue in-person talks in September as earlier suggested by US officials.
