Gold on MCX settled down -0.29% at 30528 following moves in the dollar that have weighed on the precious metal in recent weeks amid concerns about trade wars between economic superpowers and tightening monetary policy in the U.S.
A strengthening dollar proved the most significant headwind for precious metals on Tuesday with one measure of the buck, the Dollar Index rising by nearly 0.1% to 94.158. Gold on Monday accumulated modest gains even as the buck rose, but Tuesday’s moves put the dollar gauge on pace to rise 0.1% for the week thus far.
The Trump administration raised the stakes in its trade war with China on Tuesday, saying it would slap 10 percent tariffs on an extra $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. Last week, Washington imposed 25 percent tariffs on $34 billion of Chinese imports, and Beijing responded immediately with matching tariffs on the same amount of U.S. exports to China.
Trump suggested on Monday that China might be seeking to derail U.S. efforts aimed at denuclearising North Korea. Gold demand has been hurt by the fear that a trade spat may hurt Beijing’s economy, which already has shown signs of decelerating in recent months.
China is one of the world’s biggest buyers in metals, including gold. Holdings of SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, dropped 0.18 percent to 800.77 tonnes on Monday, its lowest since August 2017.
