World gold prices fell quite strongly due to the increase in the USD and stocks in the context of Mr. Donald Trump's positive opening about the trade war. However, the China-US confrontation still has many potential uncertainties.
Many experts believe that gold prices have mainly decreased due to the USD rising from the bottom for many days after US President Donald Trump gave a positive opening statement about the prospect of US-China trade negotiations that have been shady over the past week due to attacks targeting China's No. 1 technology company Huawei.
In Tokyo, during his visit to Japan, Mr. Trump expressed his confidence that the US and China will have a major trade deal in the future and that Washington expects this to happen.
This is a rare positive signal in the past week as the US-China trade war has entered a new phase, reaching a much higher level and the conflict between the two countries is considered unlikely to be resolved in the short term.
