Market watchers caution that heavy speculative bets could trigger price corrections if sentiment falters

Gold slipped as much as 1 per cent in Asian trading on Thursday (Jan 22) morning after US President Donald Trump pulled back on threats to impose tariffs on European nations, adding that a “framework of a future deal” over Greenland has been made.

The precious metal pierced the US$4,800 mark the day prior, after three days of consecutive gains on escalating concerns over the US’ bid to annex the Danish territory.

Spot gold retreated 1 per cent to US$4,785.53 as at 8.19 am in Singapore. Spot silver slid 1.9 per cent to US$91.26, while spot platinum and palladium fell.
