Global Gold price Market Overview
Globally, the spot price of gold stood at approximately $2,345.04, which marks a 0.66% decline from the previous close. The fluctuation in international gold price continues to impact local markets. Spot silver remained around $32 per ounce, following a 1.36% rise the previous day.
Impact of U.S. Economic Policies
Investors’ focus is currently on the potential interest rate decisions in the U.S., which have kept gains in precious metals somewhat limited. An important inflation report expected this week could influence these trends. Last week, the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes revealed that officials intend to maintain high-interest rates to fight inflation, reducing gold’s appeal due to the higher opportunity cost associated with holding it.
