Gold Set to Violate Triple Bottom – Brace for a Potential Sharp Sell-off

Last week was heavy on gold prices and moved them below $1500. High US Treasury Yields of 10-Year and 30-Year bonds played an essential role in giving strength to the US Dollar. Trump stated that US-China trade talks to end prevailing trade war would happen on 10 October. Moreover, higher purchases of US goods by China raised the hope for a possible end to Trade War and also put pressure on safe-haven asset gold.

There was a slight effect on yellow metal prices after an impeachment inquiry on President Trump after a whistleblower complaint on Trump for forcing the Ukrainian President to investigate former Vice President & democratic rival of Trump and getting support by White House in releasing of a reconstructed transcript of the call summary between Trump and the Ukrainian President.

Today on Monday, the yellow metal gold prices edged lower, mostly weighed by a strong dollar, as concerns of an intensification in the US-China trade war reduced after a report that the United States does not currently intend to de-list Chinese organizations from the US stock markets.
