Gold price up, Silver spot fell

Gold prices edged higher on Wednesday as a weaker dollar and simmering trade tension between the United States and China lifted demand for the safe-haven metal.

Spot gold was up 0.1% at $3,355.46 an ounce, as of 0836 GMT. U.S. gold futures edged 0.1% higher to $3,379.80.

“I think we are seeing the same concerns around trade talks, not much progress and that is adding to uncertainty over where tariffs will land, and that’s driving gold prices right now,” said Nitesh Shah, commodities strategist at WisdomTree.

Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Chinese President Xi Jinping is tough and “extremely hard to make a deal with,” days after the U.S. President accused China of violating an agreement to roll back tariffs and trade restrictions.

Spot silver fell 0.2% to $34.44 an ounce, platinum rose 0.9% to $1,083.22 and palladium lost 0.4% to $1,006.49.

    Trump uncertainties push gold to near all-time high

    Spot gold added 0.4% to $2,755.2 per ounce as of 02:29 p.m. ET (1629 GMT). Prices were at their highest since Oct. 31 when they hit their all-time high of $2,790.15.

    “There are uncertainties with proposed tariffs and other things, and gold typically does well when there’s a large or even a moderate amount of uncertainty in the market, it’s a natural place where people gravitate to,” said Ryan McIntyre, senior portfolio manager at Sprott Asset Management

    “(Trump) has been perhaps just a shade less hawkish on tariffs as feared, which helps — less/lower tariffs is taken to indicate lower inflation hence potential for more rate cuts,” said Tai Wong, an independent metals trader.

    Gold breaks $3000, what happened

    “Gold is an asset that is able to preserve value under the biggest variety of macroeconomic dislocations that we have seen,” said Thomas Kertsos, co-portfolio manager at First Eagle Investment Management LLC. “We’ve seen that over centuries gold has been able to — despite the volatility — always mean-revert and always maintain its purchasing power, all while providing significant liquidity.”

    “You’ve got huge uncertainty coming out of US policy that’s also just casting its shade over the global economy this year,” said Ian Samson, a multi-asset portfolio manager at Fidelity in Singapore.

    The foundations for the gold rally were partly set by global central banks’ wariness of relying heavily on the US dollar, also a reflection of geopolitical uncertainty.
