Gold Bars and Oil Hit by US-China Trade War

US-made gold bullion bars blocked by tariffs...

GOLD BAR and crude-oil exports from the United States to China are plunging amid the two superpowers' trade war, according to industry experts. China's tit-for-tat import

tariffs on US gold bars have "the potential to wipe out" such shipments, worth $4.5 billion last year, say leading bullion-market analysts Metals Focus.

US shipments of crude oil to China have already " totally stopped" said Xie Chunlin,

president of China Merchants Energy Shipping Co, this week. Already the world's heaviest importer of gold bullion, China last year overtook America as the world's

largest importer of crude oil according to the US Energy Information Administration, taking in 8.4 million barrels per day compared with the former No.1's 7.9 mmbd.

Primarily taking gold bars with a fineness of 9,999 parts per 10,000, China in 2017

accounted for one-in-every-four kilobars exported from the US, says specialist consultancy Metals Focus, totaling some 115 tonnes.
