"The recent downside was triggered by growing expectations of a possible trade thaw between the US and China. Notably, China signaled a softer stance by reducing the 145% tariff on select US products, hinting at potential willingness to engage in negotiations.

"If trade discussions progress further, gold could remain under pressure, especially if $3,300 support in Comex is breached. The metal may witness further unwinding of long positions in the near term, with volatility driven by fresh headlines around tariff policy," he added.
