Nickel on MCX settled up 1.03% at 898.10 gained on short covering while the base metals complex shrugged off the escalating US-China trade dispute. Now investors reduced concerns over the China-US trade war.
Fresh US tariffs imposed on Chinese goods are expected to cause limited impact on the downstream stainless steel sector as China barely exports such products to the US. China responded to the latest U.S. tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods with tariffs on about $60 billion worth of US goods, as previously planned, but has reduced the levy it will collect on the products.
As per state media the China is not afraid of “extreme measures” the United States is taking in the trade war and will use it as an opportunity to replace imports, promote localisation and accelerate the development of high-tech products.
The dollar meanwhile hit its weakest since late July against a basket of major peers, supporting dollar-priced metals by making them cheaper for buyers with other currencies. China’s yuan was steady against the greenback.
Last night the US dollar index rebounded as it recovered from earlier weakness that came after China responded with new tariffs on $60 billion worth of US goods. Meanwhile, US Treasury yields were also on the rise, to their highest since May for the 10-year bond.
