Gold prices spiked sharply yesterday amid Chinaâs retaliation against the tariff imposed by the United States on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods previously which jeopardized the U.S.-China trade talks. The gold prices rose from the level US$1282.06 (Dayâs Low as on 13th May 2019 UTC-4 03:00:00) to the level of US$1303.35 (Dayâs High as on 14th May 2019 UTC-4 20:00:00) in the spot market.
The market sentiments were boosted resulting in the sudden upside momentum in the gold prices owing to Chinaâs reciprocation to the tariff increase by the United States. China has decided to impose a tariff on US$60 million worth of United States goods from 1st June 2019.
Chinaâs retaliation increased the concern of the global market over risky assets, which in turn, exerted the pressure on other commodities during the yesterdayâs evening session, and provided support to the gold prices.
However, the gold prices lost some of its last session evening gains today amid further speculative buy in the dollar. After plunging to the level of 97.04 (as on 13th May 2019 UTC-4 08:00:00), the dollar index recovered sharply to the level of 97.39 (as on 14th May 2019 UTC-4 03:00:00).
The rise in dollar prices exerted the pressure on gold prices, and the prices dropped from the level of US$1303.35 to the present level of US$1297.56 (as on 14th May 2019 UTC-4 03:32:22).
The leverage of the U.S dollar against the Chinese yuan further extended and the dollar rose from the level of 6.8240 yuan (Dayâs low on 13th May) to the present level of 6.8856 yuan (as on 14th May 2019 UTC-4 04:05:18).

It can be seen on a daily chart that the gold prices are currently trading above its 7,20,200 days exponential moving averages (EMA), and the daily chart revelled a golden cross over (Bullish Signal) of 7 and 20 days EMA, which establishes a short-term uptrend in gold.
The gold prices in Australia rose amid weaker domestic currency against the U.S. dollar; the prices surged from the level of A$1834.32 (Dayâs low on 13th May 2019) to the current high of A$1875.44 (as on 14th May 2019 UTC-4 4:12:36).
