Gold Steadies Above $4,000 With Fed Rate Decision in Focus

Gold prices steadied above $4,000 an ounce ahead of the Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting, supported by declining crude oil prices and diplomatic efforts near the Strait of Hormuz. Spot gold traded near $4,014.49 an ounce up 0.50 percent, while spot silver traded near $53.990 up 0.20 percent. Markets are weighing competing economic signals including persistent inflation, resilient business activity, and weakening rate-sensitive demand. The precious metal recovered after falling to $3,975.00 on Friday, which marked its lowest level since July 20 and its steepest weekly drop in over four months.
