Global cues impacting gold price

Last week, the US administration gave cues of de-escalating a trade war between the US and China after US President Donald Trump said talks on tariffs were taking place with China. Furthermore, aligning with the move, China on Friday exempted some US imports from its high tariffs. 

Global equity markets also gained amid US-China trade deal hopes and eases safe-haven demand for precious metals. However, geo-political tensions and central banks buying in gold due to global uncertainty could support prices. Silver prices also corrected but if US-China trade deal executes than it will support prices of silver.
