Gold declined on expectations President Donald Trump will ease the impact of his auto tariffs, weighing on haven demand amid hopes of a further dialing down of trade tensions.

Bullion fell as much as 1.3% to $3,299.76 an ounce, following a 0.7% gain in the previous session, after a White House official said some levies on foreign parts for cars and trucks would be lifted and imported automobiles would get a reprieve from separate tariffs on aluminum and steel.
