Gold goes down notwithstanding dismal China’s data

On Thursday, in Asia, gold slipped notwithstanding the fact that China posted weaker-than-anticipated industrial output data.

Today China-US trade negotiations also gained some attention today after American leader proposed to push back a summit with China’s leader Xi Jinping until a final agreement on trade is reached.

As Trump revealed to reporters, they can really complete the deal and the final points need to be negotiated.
