On Thursday, gold rebounded, slumping below $1,200 Thursday, shrugging off the slight boost obtained after a worrying note on trade clashes found within the Fed’s mostly status quo policy gathering minutes.
Gold slumped because a leading dollar index DXY managed to ascend, although this gauge of the US currency buck versus its six counterparts was demonstrating a 0.8% decline for the week.
