📰 Silver is under pressure from the overall improvement in market sentiment. Earlier, the US and China reached a preliminary agreement to reduce tariffs. Thus, the US will reduce tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, while China will reduce them from 125% to 10%. Thus, the mirror reduction of duties was a significant step towards de-escalating the trade conflict between the two leading world economies.

📣 Demand for safe-haven assets also declined amid comments from US President Donald Trump, who told Fox News that relations between the US and China are developing well.
