Gold prices slipped on Wednesday in Asia and remained below the $1,500 level as traders awaited the upcoming European Central Bank (ECB) monthly meeting.
 for December delivery slipped 0.1% to $1,498.35 per ounce by 12:42 AM ET (04:42 GMT) on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The outcome of the ECB’s monthly meeting is expected to have an impact on gold prices later this week, as some expect a rate reduction from the central bank as part of a broader package to stimulate the eurozone economy.

“The ECB is expected to reduce further the interest rate into negative territory… The meeting could serve as a potential catalyst (for gold) and investors are already buying into the rate cut expectations,” said Margaret Yang Yan, a market analyst at CMC Markets, in a Reuters report.
Meanwhile, Sino-U.S. trade tension eased somewhat after China reportedly offered to buy more U.S. agricultural products in exchange for a delay in tariffs. It also asked for easing of a supply ban against Huawei.
