South Korea Trade Balance: $9.53B (September) vs previous $9.56B | FXStreet

Fresh US-China trade tensions, geopolitical risks, and concerns about a prolonged US government shutdown continue to drive safe-haven flows into the bullion. Bets for more Fed rate cuts and a weaker  US Dollar act as a tailwind for the non-yielding Gold.
