Gold prices were little changed in Asian trading near $4,379 an ounce as investors awaited talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping and monitored persistent Middle East tensions. Spot gold was $4,379.37 an ounce, while futures slipped to $4,417.57. Gold gained about 0.6% last week after Treasury yields and the dollar declined following the Federal Reserve’s unanimous 25-basis-point rate increase, which lifted the target range to 3.75%-4.00%. Investors are also assessing inflation, oil prices, further tightening prospects and diplomatic developments involving the United States, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Qatar.
