Global equities rallied to reach fresh record highs as the world’s two biggest economies prepare to formalise a truce.

Bengaluru — Gold fell on Tuesday as investors opted for riskier assets after the US dropped China’s designation as a currency manipulator ahead of an interim deal between the two sides to ease their trade dispute.

The US treasury on Monday said China should no longer be designated a currency manipulator in a long-delayed semi-annual currency report, reversing its August finding; the decision coincided with the arrival of a high-level Chinese delegation for a trade deal signing. Meanwhile, the dollar index held steady against a basket of rivals, making gold expensive for holders of other currencies.
