Gold Market Reacts: Prices Drop on US-UK Deal While China Boosts Import Quotas

Gold prices fell on Thursday, dropping 0.4% to $3,352.63 an ounce, as President Trump’s announcement of a comprehensive trade deal with Britain eased market tensions. The deal, which Trump described as one that will “cement the relationship” between the two nations, reduced investor interest in gold as a safe-haven asset. Markets are also watching upcoming U.S.-China trade talks in Switzerland.

In other developments, China’s central bank has approved foreign exchange purchases for gold imports under increased quotas, which analyst Han Tan says should support bullion demand. Additionally, escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, with Pakistan reporting it shot down 12 Indian drones, could potentially increase safe-haven demand for gold, according to Ole Hansen of Saxo Bank.

Gold Price and Nonfarm Payrolls: Why the Fed Is Trapped

ADP printed 109,000 jobs in April — a beat by some measures, a miss by others. The gold price didn’t move. That non-reaction is the real story heading into Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report, and it comes down to one thing: the Fed is already frozen.

Gold Is Decoupling From Geopolitics. Here’s the Proof

Gold vs Stocks vs Real Estate: What the Data Shows

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
