Markets cautious as US rate hike weighs on gold
The U.S. Federal Reserve has raised interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75% to 4%, putting pressure on gold prices amid ongoing inflation and rising energy costs. An increase in interest rates is generally negative for gold, as it raises the opportunity cost and strengthens the dollar, which in turn presses down on the precious metal's prices. The impact of this decision on the future direction of gold will depend on how well it aligns with investor expectations and the Fed's statements regarding future interest rate outlooks. There are expectations of an additional increase before the end of 2026, as the monetary policy remains at elevated levels.
