The US and China have adopted a reconciliatory tone, with China saying it hoped to make a deal as soon as possible. President Donald Trump has said he is working with Beijing on an agreement ahead of new tariffs on $156bn worth of Chinese imports on December 15.

Gold is now on track for its best year in almost a decade.
