Yuan Gold Fix
Shanghai gold prices, having corrected on Friday, are, again, moving higher in Shanghai touching 270.1 Yuan or $1,211.1 in today’s trading [using the same quality of gold]. It is always tempting to make prices simple to understand even if it means attributing any moves in the gold price to any handy piece of news locally. But that would be misleading. Chinese prices are rising because of Chinese market conditions, not because of Trump’s latest tweet.
New York closed $11.34 lower than Shanghai on Friday. London opened at $3.85 lower than Shanghai was trading today.
LBMA price setting: The LBMA gold price setting was at $1,202.75this morning against Friday’s $1,196.35.
