Gold Prices Fluctuate Ahead of Federal Reserve Meeting Minutes Amid Market Uncertainty
Gold prices showed mixed movements amid market anticipation of the US Federal Reserve's September meeting minutes. While gold held steady due to easing rate hike expectations linked to increased Middle East oil supplies and falling bond yields, it also slid to a two-month low pressured by a strong US dollar and rising Treasury yields. Fed officials expressed differing views on future rate hikes, with markets pricing in a likely increase in December. Investors remain cautious as inflation and geopolitical risks influence gold's appeal.
