China tensions push gold to a new 1-month peak

Gold prices climbed over 1% to hit a fresh one-month peak on Thursday, underpinned by a retreat in the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields, as investors kept a close tab on U.S.-China tensions.

Spot gold rose 1.6% to $1,792.19 per ounce by 1:56 p.m. ET (1756 GMT), having risen to its highest since July 5 earlier. U.S. gold futures settled 1.7% higher at $1,806.90.

“As of late, yields are coming down slightly. That has been along with the dollar’s recent weakness, one of the key benefits to gold,” said David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures.
