China - Gold on MCX settled down
-1.01% at 30547 as risk appetite recovered after the United States expressed
willingness to resolve an escalating trade fight with China. President Donald
Trump on Thursday directed U.S. trade officials to identify tariffs on $100
billion more Chinese imports, upping the ante in an already high-stakes trade
confrontation between the world’s two largest economies. The further tariffs
were being considered “in light of China’s unfair retaliation” against earlier
U.S. trade actions, which included a proposed $50 billion of tariffs on Chinese
goods, Trump said in a White House statement. The U.S. trade deficit increased
to a near 9-1/2-year high in February, with both imports and exports rising to
record highs in a sign of strong domestic and global demand. Gold-backed
exchange traded funds in North America saw inflows in March, amid market
volatility and as trade tensions between the United States and China
drove safe-haven purchases to bullion, while Europe saw outflows for the second
straight month.
