Gold extends correction amidst trade optimism, stronger US Dollar

  • Gold (XAU/USD) price extends correction, sliding below the $3,300 mark at the time of writing on Tuesday amid improving risk-on mood and a stronger US Dollar (USD).  Gold extends its decline for a second day this week as the US dollar caught up with some gains and demand for haven assets cooled, with investors also weighing prospects for improving trade relations between the US and the EU after US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he agreed to an extension on the 50% tariff deadline on the European Union (EU) until July 9.
