Gold prices are stable during today's Asian trading session, holding around 1930.00. On the eve of the quotes showed an active decline, updating their two-week lows, but by the close of the session the instrument managed to recover almost completely. Gold is supported by the forthcoming meeting of the ECB on Thursday, following which we can expect hints of further stimulation of the European economy and, possibly, a revision of inflation target levels. The next Fed meeting will take place next week, but the American regulator has already said its word. Additional support for "safe" gold is provided by another round of aggravation in relations between the United States and China, after Donald Trump announced his intention to "finally break the dependence of the US economy on China" in the event of his re-election.
