During the late Asian session, the prices of the yellow metal slipped as the United States and China hinted that trade discussions between both sides could start again. However, the trade war is still on, but investors seem to do profit-taking on overbought gold ahead of the weekend.

The precious metal gold, which stays supported over the boosted safe-haven appeal, has started dropping now. China’s representative Gao Feng said that China will not retaliate against the United States President Donald Trump’s latest tariff move.
Besides, Gao Feng also told that China would like to settle and negotiate with the United States to resolve this trade war concern with a relaxed attitude; however, the United States needs to cancel a tariff hike.
