The spot price of gold in Asian trading fell by 0.6% to $4,044.04 per ounce after the US Federal Reserve decided to leave interest rates unchanged, the Wall Street Journal writes. Investors are examining the comments of the regulator's management in anticipation of signals on additional monetary policy this year and in 2027. As the publication notes, keeping rates high traditionally puts pressure on assets that don't generate interest income, such as gold. Additional quote dynamics may be determined by data on inflation and economic growth in the United States released this week.
