COMMODITY REPORT: Gold Price Forecast: December 2019 [Video]
|December is certainly shaping up to be an incredible month ahead for Commodity traders.
A flood of headlines on Tuesday rattled the global equity markets after President Donald Trump indicated he was in no hurry to sign a trade deal with China and that another round of tariffs would be imposed on $160 billion worth of Chinese goods on December 15. President Trump also indicated that it might be best to wait until after the 2020 presidential election before striking an agreement.
A subsequent shock to the markets from an additional round of tariffs this month could likely trigger a significant stock market sell-off – similar to the pullbacks seen in May, August and more recently in the last few days. Such a scenario, would ultimately send precious metal prices skyrocketing!
Looking ahead, some of the key economic events that traders will not want to miss out on include; U.S Nonfarm Payrolls data, the final FOMC meeting of 2019, UK Election, ECB Policy decision and of course Trump’s latest round of tariffs on China, scheduled for December 15.
