Let's remind
On Tuesday, May 13, gold prices stabilized in Asian trading after the de-escalation of tariffs between the US and China, which increased risk appetite and caused a sharp drop in the value of the precious metal.
However, any significant recovery in gold prices was restrained by the strengthening of the dollar, which jumped sharply amid news of a trade agreement between the US and China.
Also, UNN reported that the US and China agreed to temporarily reduce tariffs on each other's goods for 90 days. This was done to ease trade tensions and allow time to resolve disputes.
