US-China deal may cause the correction of precious metals
US and China agreed to sign a phase one trade deal. Will the XAGEUR rise?
An upward movement means an increase in silver prices against the euro. In fact, the signing of a phase one trade deal reduces global risks. US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said the deal would double US exports to China over the next 2 years. However, now, the two countries have a 90-day transitional period for the implementation of the mutual agreement. Robert Lighthizer also announced the need for some improvements in the deal. The phase one trade deal between the US and China is expected to be signed in the first week of January 2020. Theoretically, the saying “Buy the Rumor, Sell the Fact” might work, only the opposite way (sell the rumor, buy the fact), as precious metals prices fell in anticipation of the deal. In other words, prior to the signing of the trade agreement, precious metals prices may correct upward in case of any delays and unexpected statements. In anticipation of the US-China deal, the XAGEUR fell about 16% from the high of the current year in September.
On the daily timeframe, the XAGEUR: D1 trying to move upward from the downtrend. At the same time, its decline slowed down and a number of technical analysis indicators formed buy signals. The further price increase is possible in case of reassessment of global risks upwards.
