Gold: Struggles to justify Monday’s inverted hammer, eyes on trade news, China inflation
Gold prices extend Monday’s recovery to $1,461 by the press time of early Asian session on Tuesday. Even so, the Bullion fails to justify the candlestick formation signaling reversal of the previous heavy fall.
The precious metal’s recent upticks could be attributed to the mixed headlines concerning the trade relations of the United States (US) and China, not to forget the tri-party trade deal between the US, Canada and Mexico.
