Gold prices rose slightly on Monday, as investors chose not to place large bets in anticipation of the results of trade negotiations between the United States and China. The spot price of gold rose 0.1% to $3,313.54 per ounce, while futures declined 0.4% to $3,333.80. Three advisers to Donald Trump will discuss trade differences with their Chinese counterparts in London today, which is causing increased nervousness in the markets, and traders are avoiding long positions before negotiations. Although a complete elimination of tariffs is unlikely, the results of the discussions may improve the situation. However, the high cost of doing business in the United States and the growing budget deficit may increase inflationary pressures. From a technical point of view, analysts expect spot gold to test the support level at $3,296, and a breakdown below this level could lead to a decline to $3,262. Gold is traditionally viewed as a safe haven asset in an environment of uncertainty and low interest rates. According to official data, the central bank of China increased its gold reserves for the seventh consecutive time in May. At the same time, the spot price of silver rose 0.2% to $36.03 per ounce; platinum rose 1.6% to $1,187.80; palladium fell 0.1% to $1,045.61.
