GOLD: Gold Set for New Record as Trump Softens on China Tariffs.  

Jan-24 04:36
  • President Trump told Fox News on Thursday night that he’d ‘rather not use’ levies against China, causing the dollar to drop, giving Gold a late boost.
  • For much of the week gold prices appeared supported by their safe-haven status but the week’s rally showed signs of softening before Trump addressed Davos in comments that drove volatility.
  • Trump had already levelled comments at Mexico, Canada, China and the EU warning them during the week of the potential for tariffs.
  • Opening the day at US2,754.87 gold traded as high as $2,777.37 before backing off to $2,770.98.
  • At these prices, gold is setting new records for all time prices and some analysts believe could go higher in 2025.
