Silver gained amid a sudden surge in uncertainties surrounding the U.S.- China trade talks and weak global economic data also remained in focus. Disappointing economic data continued to dent investor sentiment this week.
The International Monetary Fund revised downward its 2019 global growth forecast to 3.5% from October’s 3.7%. The US dollar edged down as US-China trade tension continued. The partial US government shutdown and a three-year low in US pending home sales also weighed on the greenback.
The sentiment for current economic conditions in Germany during January fell to a four-year low, even concluded that the overall index reading is less negative than expected, according to the results of the ZEW survey. After two consecutive months of increases, US existing-home sales declined in December, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Total existing-home sales, completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, decreased 6.4% from November to a seasonally adjusted rate of 4.99 million in December.
