Gold prices edge up on trade talk hopes, but Fed stance caps gains

Gold inched up on Friday as optimism over US-China trade talks pressured the dollar, but signs the US Federal Reserve could raise interest rates again this year kept prices below 10-month highs hit 
this week.

Spot gold had risen 0.11 per cent to $1,324.63 per ounce by 0053 GMT, 
after touching its strongest in 10 months on Wednesday at $1,346.73. 


US gold futures were steady at $1,327.5 per ounce. 

The dollar index against a basket of six major currencies was
little changed at 96.582 after edging up about 0.15 per cent 
overnight when long-term Treasury yields surged to a one-week 
high amid news of progress in US-China trade talks. 


Top US and Chinese trade negotiators resumed high-level talks
 on Thursday to hash out a deal that could end their trade war, 
just over a week before a US-imposed deadline to reach agreement 
expires and triggers a new round of tariffs.
