“… Even more remarkable was the recovery during the final three trading days this week. June gold opened at $2,998 on Wednesday and as of 5:40 PM ET is fixed at a record-closing price of $3,254.90. The massive gains began after President Trump announced a 90-day pause on tariffs that were set to begin at midnight on Wednesday. This pause applied to most countries; however, China was notably excluded.
Trump stated, "Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World's Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately... At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable."
Today, China retaliated by raising its tariff on imports from the United States to 125%, just one day after Trump raised the import tax on goods from China to 145%. These moves by both countries have undoubtedly heightened tensions and escalated the trade war to unprecedented levels.
