Gold prices fall after Dollar Surges on China, U.S. Consumer Data
Dollar bulls seem to making more of the back and forth on the U.S.-China trade talks than gold bugs.Bullion and futures of gold hit two-week lows on Friday, breaking decisively from the bullish $1,300 levels, after China’s state-run media expressed impatience over the progress of trade negotiations with Washington. The dollar hit two-week highs, bolstered also by a 15-year high in U.S. consumer sentiment. Unlike many assets, gold is in a unique position in the U.S.-China trade war.

A negative outcome could bolster gold’s standing as a safe-haven hedge against further weakening in Chinese growth.
