Postponement of US-China trade deal to December should be bullish for gold and silver. I will prefer a buy on dips strategy as long as gold trades over $1475 for intraday. Use sharp dips to invest in silver for month end with a stop loss below $1660. Copper and crude oil should fall on speculation of trade talk.
