Spot gold was little changed at $1 471,90 per ounce as of 0559 GMT. US gold futures inched up 0,07 percent to $1 472,90 per ounce.
“We’re not seeing any big moves at the moment and given the proximity to the $1,490-level, movements will be sideways in the short term, unless Beijing or Washington come and say that a trade deal is unlikely,” said Michael McCarthy, chief market strategist at CMC Markets.
