On Thursday, the precious metal gold surged to trade around 1,468 level extending gains to a third session, as soft Chinese figures and risk about whether Beijing and Washington will strike a trade agreement anytime soon depressed demand for riskier assets.
China and the United States are enduring “in-depth” talks on a first-phase trade deal, and cutting tariffs is a crucial requirement for settling, the Chinese commerce ministry stated.
The report came from the Wall Street Journal that the United States and China hit a snag over farm purchases. Notably, President Trump recently said that China committed to buying up to $50 billion in U.S. soybeans, pork, and other agricultural products as part of a phase one trade agreement.
However, China is unwilling to quantify its farm purchases now, as in result, instantly activated a risk-off sentiment in the American markets that destroyed the Wall Street party.
