Dubai Gold Prices Spike Ahead of US Fed Rate Decision
Gold prices rose in Dubai ahead of the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on Wednesday morning.
The price of spot gold was up nearly 0.7% at $4,321 per ounce, while silver jumped almost 2% to $64.56 an ounce.
Traders are pricing in a high chance of a 25-basis-point hike, with a 92.4% probability according to the CME FedWatch.
Market analyst Frank Walbaum noted that a hawkish Fed could pull gold down, while soft messaging may ease bets on hikes and help the metal recover.
