Demand for safe-haven assets rises as hopes for US-China trade war resolution fade

Trump’s comments come shortly after he slapped tariffs on US steel and aluminium imports from Brazil and Argentina. The US House of Representatives approved a bill that would require Washington to toughen its response to Beijing’s crackdown on its Uighur Muslim minority, which investors fear can possibly deteriorate trade ties.
