Gold edges up on weaker stocks, US dollar ahead of Fed meeting
Bengaluru
GOLD inched up on Monday as Asian stocks fell and the US dollar eased ahead of a US Federal Reserve policy meeting that could give clues on the pace of interest rate hikes over the rest of the year.
With the Fed widely expected to raise interest rates at its two-day meeting that ends on Wednesday, the focus will be on any fresh hints on the pace of further tightening in the months to come and next year, and any further details on its plans for trimming its balance sheet.
