Gold ease in Asia as Trump moves on policy goals.
Gold prices fell in Asia on Wednesday with copper climbing down from sharp overnight gains as regional data sets showed unexpected gains in Japan exports and investors continued to mull the flurry of executive actions by President Donald Trump, including his latest tweet signaling a border all announcement on Wednesday in the U.S.
Gold for February delivery on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange fell 0.30% to 1,207.15 a troy ounce. Also on the Comex, silver futures for March delivery fell 0.77% to $17.108 a troy ounce. Japan's annual exports grew 5.4% in December, the first time in 15 months, led by shipments of car parts and electronics, and well above a forecast of a 1.2% increase. Australia said inflation rose less than expected in the last quarter of 2016, up 0.5% in the fourth-quarter and 1.5% from the previous year. The Reserve Bank of Australia targets an annual inflation rate in the range between 2% to 3%. Overnight, copper soared on Tuesday in the U.S. with investors looking to a pickup in U.S. demand on expected tax cuts and infrastructure spending under the new administration and taking profits on recent gains for gold.
