Commodities Daily - May 24, 2019

> Weaker dollar pushes gold prices higher. Risk appetite was curtailed yesterday amid the continuing US-China trade war uncertainty, weak PMIs from the eurozone and unimpressive new home sales in the US. This spurred interest in defensive assets, a trend that remains in place this morning. Today, eyes will be on US durable goods orders. We expect gold to consolidate around the $1,280/bbl mark today. > Optimism prevails in base metals markets this morning. US President Trump said the Huawei situation could conceivably be resolved within the framework of a trade deal with China. Announcing a $16 bln agricultural support program, he noted that there is a "good opportunity" for trade talks to resume. Trump's positive comments caused base metals to advance across the board this morning. Nickel led the way (+3%), followed by zinc (+1.3%) and copper (+0.8%).
