  1. Gold Dips as Dollar Climbs and Traders Await Fed

    Gold prices retreated on Tuesday, with spot gold dropping 0.5 per cent to $3,995.89 per ounce by 0929 GMT and U.S. gold futures for December delivery falling 0.71 per cent to $4,009.60 per ounce. The US dollar strengthened by 0.3 per cent against a basket of major currencies, hitting a nearly two-week high and making bullion more expensive for holders of other currencies. Investors are standing by for the US Federal Reserve policy decision, with markets broadly expecting the central bank to leave interest rates unchanged this week while seeking signals on the future rate outlook.

    Why it matters

    Gold has faced heavy pressure recently as elevated Treasury yields and persistent inflation concerns keep monetary policy restrictive. Crude oil prices hovering near $116 a barrel amid renewed Middle East supply risks continue to feed inflationary fears, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain its current stance. Meanwhile, traders are balancing these macro headwinds alongside upcoming US GDP data and central bank rate decisions.

    What is confirmed

    • Spot gold dropped 0.5 per cent to $3,995.89 per ounce by 0929 GMT on Tuesday.
    • U.S. gold futures for December delivery fell 0.71 per cent to $4,009.60 per ounce.
    • The US dollar rose 0.3 per cent against a basket of major currencies, hitting a nearly two-week high.
    • Brent crude hovered around $116 a barrel amid renewed supply risks in the Middle East.
