Gold prices are under pressure as a stronger US dollar weighs on the precious metal ahead of the anticipated FOMC decision. The greenback’s resilience has limited gold’s appeal, with investors showing caution as they await fresh signals on interest rates from the Federal Reserve. Spot gold dipped slightly, extending losses as treasury yields provided additional support to the dollar.

Market sentiment remains on edge, with the Fed’s rate outlook driving near-term momentum. Analysts expect the central bank to maintain rates but signal a hawkish stance amid lingering inflation concerns. Higher interest rates generally reduce the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold, pushing investors toward safer, yield-bearing alternatives.

The USD’s strength comes on the back of recent economic data that underscored persistent growth in the US economy. Treasury yields climbed further, reinforcing the dollar’s dominance and adding downward pressure on gold. However, geopolitical uncertainties and steady demand for safe-haven assets have prevented sharper declines.

Traders are now focused on the FOMC policy statement for clues on future rate movements. Any dovish hints could weaken the dollar and boost gold prices, while a more hawkish tone may drive gold further down. For now, gold remains at the mercy of the Fed’s next move, with volatility expected post-announcement.
