Gold slipped from six-and-a-half-year highs, but nonetheless ended the day in Europe with a slight gain of 0.3 per cent The trade gap - the difference between what the United States buys from and sells to international trading partners - fell by 8.2 per cent in November to US$43.1 billion, lower than economists had expected and the lowest since October 2016.
