Gold prices eased from two-week highs as the dollar turned positive after bouncing off lows but
mounting fears overthe prospect of a trade war stoked demand for the precious metal.
Gold prices have remained resilient in both the run up to the Federal Reserve’s 0.25% interest rate and the post-Federal Reserve period despite the central bank hiking its 2019 and 2020 rate hike projections.
In other precious metal trade, silver futures fell 0.15% to $16.40 a troy ounce,
while platinum futures lost 0.76% to $950.50 an ounce.
