One day left for US stock market trading this week where 5200- needs to hold or face a risk of further selling.
Back aiove 5400 would be needed to ease the risk.

Gold Futures Hits Record High on Mounting U.S.-China Economic Tensions
Gold futures rise to a record high as geopolitical and macroeconomic tensions continue to mount. Futures are up 2.5% to $3,321.40 a troy ounce, having climbed as high as $3,334.20/oz earlier in the session. Gold’s latest rally comes as the U.S. looks to further isolate China from global trade, SP Angel analysts say in a note. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has pitched the idea of extracting concessions from U.S. trading partners to isolate China, and reports of removing Chinese stocks from U.S. exchanges hasn’t been ruled out. China is holding off negotiations with the U.S. despite U.S. President Trump suggesting a deal is possible. The U.S. dollar has resumed its downward trend and ETF demand is picking up, further strengthening gold’s appeal, SP Angel adds.
