​​​Gold price tries to stabilise 

​The spot gold price's over 3% drop from this week's $3,435.00 per troy ounce high amid hopes of US trade agreements being made, like the one with the UK on Thursday, is being followed by a recovery in the precious metal ahead of this weekend's planned US-China trade talks which slightly concern investors and weigh on sentiment. 

​While Friday's intraday low at $3,275.00 underpins, this week's high at $3,435.00 may well be revisited. 

​Support below $3,275.00 and the 23-to-28 April lows can be spotted at $3,268.00-to-$3,260.00 ahead of last week's low at $3,202.00.
