Gold And The Greenback Gold has rebounded modestly today after last week’s decline, the biggest weekly drop since mid-June 2021 and slightly steeper than the pullback in November after President Trump’s victory. Positive trade talks between China and the U.S., along with huge deals President Trump made during his historic tour of the Middle East last week, calmed the nervous nellies fearing an imminent U.S. recession.
