On Thursday, gold stood still against the backdrop of news of probable US-China trade negotiations, although the yellow metal was held down by a firmer evergreen buck.
December delivery gold futures rallied by 0.07% being worth $1,211.70 a troy ounce.

American leader has threatened to slap duties on nearly all China’s goods, or approximately $467 billion in products, while China wants to ask the WTO for the official permission to slap sanctions on its trade partner at a gathering next week.
A long-lasting trade feud between China and American kept driving market participants to purchase the evergreen buck, thus suppressing the yellow metal because investors feel that America has less to lose in this trade conflict. Gold has been stuck in the $1,200 band for the last two weeks because traders shift to the safe-haven appeal of the US currency.

The yellow metal becomes more costly for those who keep other currencies when the evergreen buck tacks on, and accordingly more affordable when it dives.

The given data is expected to show up just a day after a sudden sink in producer prices. However, the Federal Reserve is generally anticipated to have rates raised already this month.
