President Donald Trump said Monday imports of gold will not face US tariffs, weighing in after a federal ruling caused chaos and confusion in global bullion markets.

Gold futures traded on New York’s Comex and the global benchmark for spot prices in London were little-changed after Trump’s post. Spot gold pared some losses, though it was still down more than 1.2% on the day.
