July 1 (Reuters) - Gold prices rose on Tuesday buoyed by a
safe-haven sentiment emanating from weak global manufacturing
data that hinted at an economic slowdown, a day after the metal
declined more than 1% on expectations of a U.S.-China trade
truce.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Spot gold XAU= was up 0.4% at $1,389.49 per ounce at
0111 GMT.

* U.S. gold futures GCv1 were up 0.2% at $1,391.70 an

* Factory activity shrank across much of Europe and Asia in
June while growth in manufacturing cooled in the United States,
keeping the world's policymakers under pressure to avert a

low in June, with a measure of new orders received by factories
tumbling, amid growing anxiety over an escalation in trade
tensions between the United States and China. * Britain's economy has lost momentum and might have shrunk
in the second quarter of 2019, according to data that showed the
double impact of Brexit and the slowdown in the global economy.

European Central Bank will ease policy further if necessary to
boost price pressures, policymakers said on Monday, just weeks
after ECB chief Mario Draghi hinted at more stimulus.
* President Donald Trump said on Monday that trade talks
with China were under way and any deal would need to be somewhat
tilted in favor of the United States. * Hong Kong police fired tear gas early on Tuesday to

the anniversary of the city's 1997 return to Chinese rule.
