Gold Prices Fluctuate as Investors Await Fed Rate Decision and Monitor US-Iran Talks
Gold prices fluctuated amid investor uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions and ongoing US-Iran conflict talks. While reports of a near agreement to end the Iran war were denied by diplomats, elevated energy prices sustained inflation concerns. The Fed is expected to hold rates steady at its upcoming meeting, with a possible hike later this year. Other precious metals showed minor changes, and the dollar and bond yields experienced slight declines amid market caution.
