Gold Sees Red as US-China Trade Tensions Start Easing

This week saw the prices of gold and silver futures drop as more reports showed that the U.S. and China’s trade war was easing. July silver prices dropped to $32.44 while June gold declined to $3222.50. The trade war was first reignited when President Trump imposed a 10% tariff on all Chinese imports earlier in February.
