On Wednesday, the precious metal gold prices soared to their peak levels in nearly two weeks as U.S. Senate activity on Hong Kong produced a likely obstacle to a trade deal between the United States and China, bending demand for riskier assets.
The Chinese news outlet Global Times reported that U.S. & China had a long way to go to end the trade dispute and to come to terms.
CNBC reported on Monday that China would wait for the outcomes of 2020 U.S. Presidential elections before signing a trade deal. It was also said that China appeared to set on “wait till Trump out” rather than focusing on the Phase-one deal.
The phase one deal was highly skeptical from the beginning due to red lines of enforcement mechanism, Intellectual properties, and subsidies. Trump, on Tuesday, in response to the Chinese reluctance to sign the deal, gave threats to China that he would impose more duties on Chinese goods by 15 December if the phase-one deal was not signed by then.
