Yellow metal rallies against the backdrop of risk aversion
On Wednesday, the yellow metal managed to extend gains for the fourth consecutive day, while other metals are going down. Risk aversion definitely dominated the market against the backdrop of the trade conflict between China and America.

What’s more, traders will also wait for the GDP report in Great Britain as well as inflation numbers in American on Friday.

The yellow metal is benefiting from the risk aversion environment because of the trade war between America and China. Gold is reporting its fourth winning trading day in a row.
As a matter of fact, XAG/USD hit 14.93.
