Gold tacks on as investors eye trade deal progress

Gold’s price was also powered by a weaker greenback that the yellow commodity is linked to.
Gauging the evergreen buck’s purchasing potential against its several peers the USD index declined by 0.05% being worth 96.41.
Besides this, traders are also waiting for speeches from Fed representatives for prompts on how long the US major financial institution is going to pause interest rate lifts.
