Gold Near Three-Month Low Ahead of Federal Reserve Policy Decision
Gold prices hovered near a three-month low around $4,000 per ounce as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy decision, which is expected to keep interest rates steady this week but possibly hike them in December. Elevated energy prices and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including attacks on Saudi Arabia and diplomatic efforts involving Iran, influenced market sentiment. Oil prices fell after recent gains, while inflation concerns and shifting Fed rate expectations added pressure on gold, a non-yielding asset.
