Gold tug-of-war extends amid trump tariff threats

Fundamental News and Triggers
  • Gold prices are currently trapped around the $3270 to $3420 region as the current consolidation pattern continues into the twelfth week. But rebounding dollar, which is driving the lower price action, the possibility of increased trade tensions could provide support.
