For me the fact that USD/CNH dropped below 7 between Dec 12 and Dec 13 (when US and China announced the deal) its the confirmation that Phase One is verbally done...risk appetite is ON but safehaven like gold are also supported and looking still bullish after two runs in 2019. The reason? IMHO Gold need to see the deal in writing. As soon as Phase One is signed, Gold will resume the correction commenced in September.
