Will Gold hold the support at 1235? Gold Vs Dollar: Who will win these coming days?

Rajesh Tatineni BSH Advisory

Spot gold prices declined 1.07% to close at $1241.8 per ounce as U.S. threat of tariffs on an additional $200 billion of Chinese goods pushed safe-haven flows to the U.S. dollar and dashed hopes that Washington would eventually step back from the escalating row. U.S. President Donald Trump detailed overnight a list of Chinese products that could face 10% tariffs. The clock now starts ticking on a two-month period of public comment before the levies are imposed. The news of more possible U.S. tariffs on China is the latest in a tit-for-tat spat between the world's two largest economies.
