Gold Prices Steady Near 4,000 Ahead of Federal Reserve Policy Meeting
Gold prices remained near 4,000 an ounce ahead of the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy meeting, where rates are expected to stay steady. A firmer US dollar weighed on gold, reducing its appeal for overseas buyers. Inflation concerns, driven by high energy prices, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East added to market uncertainty. Traders see a low chance of a rate hike this week but anticipate a possible increase in December, influencing gold's near-term outlook as a non-yielding asset.
