Gold Edges Higher Ahead of FOMC Decision
Gold edges higher in the early morning Asian session on likely position adjustments ahead of the FOMC decision due later today. Market participants are fully pricing in a 25bp rate cut by the Fed, with a slim chance of a 50bp cut, reinforcing demand for the non-interest-bearing asset, Exness's Eric Chia says in an email.
They are also awaiting the Fed's quarterly projections and Fed Chair Powell's press conference for signals on the pace of future rate cuts, the financial markets strategist adds. Spot gold is 0.1% higher at $3,694.54/oz.
