Gold price is slowely but surely making its way higher this Monday as President Trump remains silent on tariffs.
Gold's price (XAU/USD) is set to revisit the high in the Asian session near $2,876 at the time of writing after a steady positive Monday thus far. Tariffs are still set to hit on Tuesday for Mexico and Canada and additional tariffs on China, they are not really triggering another flight into Gold. Traders will need to look for new headlines about tariffs, and there is still the chance that United States (US) President Donald Trump will change his mind.
Meanwhile, traders are still digesting Friday's turn of events. The spat between Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on one side and US President Trump and Vice-President J.D. Vance is still making headlines.

With no rare earth deal in place, the televised spat in the Oval Office, and now London reeling in the agreement on the frozen Russian assets, all bets could be off the table with even possibly the US withdrawing from NATO.
