Gold tracks for weekly gain as tariff threats stoke haven demand
Spot gold was steady for a second day at $2,755.35 an ounce at 8:04 a.m. in Singapore.
Widely respected economist in China, Li Yining of Peking University, has joined a chorus of advisers urging the Chinese government to increase the country’s gold reserves as a hedge against inflation of foreign currencies.
“China should increase its gold reserves appropriately, and China must take every chance to buy, especially when gold prices fall,” Li told China’s Xinhua news agency.
