Gold prices edged higher on Wednesday, after the United States confirmed tariffs on China would remain intact until a ‘Phase Two’ deal is completed.
In a statement on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said the first phase of a trade agreement will be fully enforceable, including a pledge by China to refrain from manipulating its currency. China has pledged to buy almost $80 billion of additional goods from the United States over the next two years. An unrealistic target, which many traders fear China will face serious difficulties fulfilling – heightening uncertainties around whether this phase one deal will even hold.
Further developments surrounding the much-awaited US-China ‘Phase One’ trade deal are expected to keep the markets on edge heading into the signing ceremony on Wednesday at 1130 EST.
