Gold rally has stopped due to Trump’s decision on Mexican tariffs

Even the possibility of reducing the rate of the Federal Reserve could not stop the fall in the price of gold, since the decision of President Donald Trump not to punish Mexico eventually had a greater impact.

The price of physical metal and gold futures fell from a 14-month high on Monday, ending the eight-day rally. The decision of the president not to continue to increase tariffs on Mexican imports has partially removed the negative sentiment on global macroeconomic markets. The fall in price also made it possible to buy cheap metal for those who want to make money on the longest rally of gold this year.

Spot gold, reflecting trading in bullion, was trading at $ 1,327.64 per ounce during the American session, down by $ 12.94, or 1%, per day. On Friday, the price reached a maximum in April 2018, reaching $ 1,348.34.

Gold futures with delivery in August, traded in the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, fell in price by $ 16.80, or by 1.25%, to 1,329.30 dollars per ounce. At the last session, he reached the February high of $ 1,352.55.
