Globally, the spot gold was down 0.10 per cent at $$2,177.27 per ounce at 9.47 am UAE time as investors stayed on the sidelines awaiting for more cues on the US Federal Reserve policy.
Rania Gule, market analyst at XS.com, said the price of gold rose above its highest level in two days on Tuesday, nearing $2,190, coinciding with a downward correction in the US dollar.

“Investors are now seeking new signals regarding inflation expectations to gauge when the Fed will begin to cut interest rates. The market will closely focus on the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index for February, which will be published on Friday, coinciding with official holidays in the US and Europe, extending market pricing for this data until the beginning of next week, coinciding with the monthly market opening,” said Gule.
She added that any signs of monetary policy easing could strengthen gold prices as it would diminish hopes for the Fed to keep rates high for longer.
“However, stubborn inflation data may negatively impact gold prices as it increases the opportunity cost of investing in gold. Instead, investors may opt for interest-bearing assets like bonds, which would become more attractive due to rising yields,” added Gule.
