- Gold is on the defensive despite escalating US-China trade tensions. The new US tariffs on $16 billion worth of Chinese goods have taken effect a few minutes ago and could invite retaliatory action from Beijing.
- A bearish doji reversal would be confirmed if the metal closes below the previous day’s doji candle low of $1,192. The bearish reversal, if confirmed, would mean the corrective rally from the recent low of $1,160 has ended.
