Gold and silver steadied, after suffering their steepest selloffs in years on Tuesday as concern their dizzying rallies in recent weeks had left them overvalued. Spot gold traded near $4,140 an ounce after tumbling in the previous session, the biggest intraday drop in more than a dozen years. The US government shutdown has become the second-longest in history as the stalemate between the two parties over expiring health-care subsidies persists. Senate Democratic leaders have asked to meet with President Donald Trump before his Asia trip, but Trump said he would only talk to them after the shutdown ends. The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won't find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards, Guy Johnson and Kriti Gupta.
