And the prices of alloys fell 1.8% during the early trading in Asia to 3265 dollars per ounce, after weekly profits of $ 2.6, as investors focused on the results of the expected commercial talks between the two largest economies in the world.

Nevertheless, the fear of the economic impact of Trump’s fees still supports gold, which was a 25% increase this year, which had the precious metal to a record level of about $ 3,500 an ounce, before losing some profits over the past few weeks. The precious metal was also supported by strong purchases of central banks and speculation activity in the Chinese market.
