We have all heard of manipulation In the gold price (buillion) and todays action looks exactly like that in my view.
A person would think what with Hong kong news of the riots and especially what the Senate has overwhelmingly voted on . Why the heck has gold gone down and not up since this news is not making XI happy with Trump and its interference with their heavy hand, and then Trump says today that if a deal is not made soon he will raise tariffs.
In Washington, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed the "Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act," which would require the secretary of state to certify at least once a year that Hong Kong retains enough autonomy to qualify for special U.S. trading consideration and would impose sanctions against officials responsible for rights violations.
The bill must be reconciled with similar legislation approved by the House of Representatives. Senate aides said they expected it to move forward eventually as an amendment to a defense bill expected to pass Congress this year.
'Big fight'
China's foreign ministry condemned the legislation, saying the United States should stop interfering in Hong Kong and Chinese affairs. The Hong Kong government expressed "deep regret" over it.
The unrest marks the most serious popular challenge to Chinese President Xi Jinping since he came to power in 2012.
